Mrs. Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) how much has been spent by his Department in each of the last three years to(a) produce public information in alternative formats for visually impaired people and (b) publicise the availability of accessible information among visually impaired people;

(2) if he will indicate which departmental publications are currently available (a) in Braille, (b) in large print and (c) on tape; and if he will indicate what efforts have been made by his Department to inform visually impaired people about the availability of publications in alternative formats to normal print.

Mr. Baldry

Considerable efforts are directed to making travel advice and other information available to the public on the telephone. It is not possible separately to identify the cost of those services specifically targeted at visually impaired people.
