§ Viscount Inglebyasked Her Majesty's Government:
What local authorities have designated one of their officers as access liaison officer, following the recommendation of the Silver Jubilee Committee on access by the disabled to public buildings; whether they will give the names of such officers; and whether they will list those local authorities who have not yet so designated one of their officers.
§ Lord Cullen of AshbourneI regret that the information requested is not collected centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. However, I am aware that some local authorities have appointed access liaison officers, while others specifically encourage their planning officers to bear in mind the access needs of disabled people.
