HC Deb 15 March 2004 vol 419 cc51-4W
Mr. Lidington

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs if he will list the court buildings that are not yet compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995; and, for each such court, when his Department plans to comply with the Act. [160473]

Mr. Leslie

Taking the 1 April of 2004 as a baseline, the court buildings scheduled in the list will not be compliant with the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 on that date. A plan of works is in hand to ensure that, with one exception, all these buildings will comply with the Act, in so far as is reasonable, by 30 September 2004.

The one exception is the Crown court at Cardiff where it is not anticipated that the necessary works will be completed until 30 November 2004.
