HC Deb 28 April 1988 vol 132 c227W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list the powers under which a local authority can offer financial assistance to the owner of a small shop to make it accessible to disabled people.

Mr. Chope

It is for local authorities to consider which powers might authorise the giving of financial assistance for access to the disabled to non-local authority premises.
