HC Deb 03 June 1997 vol 295 c124W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment by what means his Department makes available its publications in(a) Braille, (b) audio tape and (c) large print; and how this is publicised. [1681]

Dr. Howells

The Department produces several of its information leaflets and booklets in Braille, on audio tape and in large print. The majority are unpriced and are available from the Department's mailing houses on request. The priced ones are available from The Stationery Office.

The availability of Braille, audio tape and large print is normally publicised by a reference in the standard printed version of the publication along with a telephone number for those wishing to place orders. We also send specimen copies to organisations representing blind people for wider dissemination.
