Mr. Ford

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what representations he has made to the Post Office regarding the provision of public telephones suitable for use by disabled persons.

Mr. Prentice

The Department and the Post Office are in regular contact on a number of matters concerning services for disabled people, including the provision of public telephones suitable for their use. I am glad to say that the Post Office is pursuing a number of initiatives in this area, including the development of a new type of kiosk designed specifically with the needs of disabled people in mind
