HC Deb 12 June 1972 vol 838 c200W
Mr. Carter-Jones

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if, in view of the fact that under professional training facilities of his Department's handbook there is the assumption that such training can be given without special provision and that this does not apply to disabled professionals receiving training, he will review policy on this subject; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chichester-Clark

Most disabled people being trained for the professions are able to follow normal courses with individual adaptation as necessary. Special provisions for blind people are made in conjunction with the Royal National Institute for the Blind and my Department would be glad to consider similar arrangements for other groups unable to be trained by normal methods.
