§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations the minister with responsibilities for the disabled has had from the Association for All Speech-Impaired Children regarding the logo on the cover of the attendance allowance claim form; what reply he is sending; if there is any action he will be taking; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. BoysonMy hon. Friend recently received a letter from the association saying that the logo has inhibited parents of speech-handicapped children from claiming the allowance. He has replied to the effect that the current logo is the one that has become established, nationally and internationally, as a general symbol for handicap or disability, but that we will consider the association's views.
