European Communities (Definition of Treaties) (United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities) Order 2009

On this point, can the Minister explain what the reservation adds to the interpretative declaration on education? It seems to me from this debate that there will be quite broad support for the interpretative declaration explaining what we actually do and how we interpret the obligations under the convention, but I fail to see the need for a reservation. Reservations are far more damaging than interpretative declarations.
