Download Election interviews: The Green Party, Reform UK and Plaid Cymru’s disability policies

Emma Tracey interviews representatives from all the major parties to find out what they are pledging when it comes to disability and mental health, ahead of the general election on 4 July.

In this edition, we hear from Mags Lewis of the Green Party and Liz Saville Roberts from Plaid Cymru.

Reform UK did not put forward a representative for this interview. Instead, BBC Political Correspondent, David Cornock, has taken a look at Reform UK’s manifesto to discuss what the party is planning.

Kate Lamble, from More or Less, a Radio 4 programme all about numbers, also offers some analysis on how the plans add up.

Production: Daniel Gordon, Alex Collins and Natasha Mayo
Sound recording and editing: Dave O’Neill

At the time of recording, all the statistics provided by the Disability Policy Centre, around the number of disabled candidates were correct. The DPC says it will continue to collate the information and will have a final tally shortly after the election.
