Government Buildings, Scotland (Accessibility for the Old and Disabled)

HC Deb 25 May 1966 vol 729 c122W 122W

§ Mr. William Hamilton
asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he will take steps to ensure that all Government buildings in Scotland are accessible and convenient for the old and disabled.

§ Mr. Boyden
New buildings erected by the Ministry will conform with the recommendations in a pamphlet published last year by the Ministry and the Ministry of Health, after consultation with the Central Council for the Disabled. This pamphlet gave guidance about methods of access to public buildings and other design features which will help old people and the disabled.
