HC Deb 26 July 1993 vol 229 c732W
Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is her Department's policy on which information produced by her Department is published in alternative media to standard print such as Braille, tape or large print.

Mr. Jack

MAFF aims to publish as much information as possible in formats which are readily accessible to a wide variety of users. The Department has recently responded to the needs of blind and partially sighted people by publishing one of its "Food Sense" information booklets in Braille, large print and audio-cassette versions. This was done in close co-operation with the Royal National Institute for the Blind, and we hope it will be the forerunner of similar ventures in the future.
