HC Deb 15 July 1988 vol 137 c395W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what is his policy on the incorporation in all newly developed or built Government offices of modern facilities for the employment of disabled people; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Chope

It is the Government's policy to provide facilities wherever possible for disabled people using Government buildings. Design standards have been developed and are incorporated at the design stage of new Crown buildings. It is also the Government's policy to comply with existing legislation affecting the provision of facilities for disabled people.
