§ Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he is satisfied that there is ease of access for disabled people at all disablement offices in his Department's local premises; what steps are taken when offices are transferred to ensure that they are no less accessible; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. EyreFor several years before the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act, 1970, came into force my Department provided facilities for the disabled at new Crown offices and other Government buildings visited by the public. This policy has been followed whenever practicable. These facilities are always considered when it is necessary to transfer an office to other premises.
