HC Deb 27 June 1991 vol 193 c520W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to provide Braille voting cards at polling stations; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Rumbold

No. The Representation of the People Acts and subordinate legislation already allow the presiding officer or a companion to assist blind people to vote. Alternatively, they may choose to vote by post or by proxy.
