Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his policy toward the recommendations of the "Disability Manifesto: An Agenda for the 1990s", a copy of which has been sent to him, which relate to his Department; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The Treasury has an equal opportunity policy discussed with the departmental trade union side, kept under continuous review and published in a guide issued to staff. One of the guiding principles is that disability is no bar to recruitment or to advancement within the Department. Additional computer and office furniture have been provided to assist disabled staff. Where possible parking spaces are made available. All Treasury offices have wheelchair access.
