§ Mr. Simon Hughesasked the Paymaster General how many unemployment benefit offices do not have ramp access for disabled people; and if there are any plans to increase the number of unemployment benefit offices with wheel chair access.
§ Mr. LeeInformation is not available in the form requested. Many unemployment benefit offices already provide wheelchair access, but where this is not available, and access is a problem, special alternative arrangements are made for disabled persons. The unemployment benefit service has plans for replacing or improving unsatisfactory offices, and these afford opportunities for improving access.
