§ 36. Mr. Freudasked the Minister for the Arts if he will make a statement on the accessibility of the arts to disabled people and the steps his Department is taking to improve accessibility.
§ Mr. LuceI have read with great interest the Attenborough report, commissioned by the Carnegie Trust, which made recommendations on this subject: I commended it to the Arts Council, British Film Institute and Crafts Council, and I am pleased to note that all three have acted upon the report. The public libraries, museums and galleries for which I am responsible have for many years made special efforts, within the resources available, to facilitate visits by disabled individuals.
