HC Deb 25 May 1989 vol 153 cc677-8W
Mr. Boyes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what arrangements have been made to produce versions of the leaflets "The Community Charge (the so called Poll Tax): How It Will Work for You" in Braille and moon for the blind and deaf-blind people.

Mr. Gummer

My Department is currently discussing with the Royal National Institute for the Blind ways in which the leaflet might be adapted for the visually handicapped.

Mr. Boyes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what arrangements have been made to translate the leaflet "The Community Charge (the so called Poll Tax): How It Will Work for You" into British sign language, on video, for profoundly deaf people whose only language is BSL.

Mr. Gummer

I am currently considering whether such arrangements might be necessary.
