HC Deb 27 January 1999 vol 324 c252W
Mr. Michael J. Foster

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what plans he has for departmental(a) White and (b) Green Papers to be made available on floppy disk format in a form which facilitates access for the visually impaired. [67852]

Mr. Meale

The Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions currently publishes all White and Green Papers in HTML format on its Internet site. This ensures easy access by systems such as "screen readers, text-to-speech and text to Braille converters" making documents more accessible to the visually impaired.

Where appropriate, publications are also made available on audio tape, in large print, Braille or on floppy disk.
