The Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) 1995 was intended to end the discrimination which many disabled people face.
This Act gave disabled people rights in the areas of: employment; access to goods, facilities and services; buying or renting land or property.
The employment rights and first rights of access came into force on 2 December, 1996; further rights of access came into force on 1 October, 1999;
and the final rights of access came into force in October 2004. (Source: http://www.disability.gov.uk/dda/).
The DDA was subsumed by the Equality Act 2010.
