§ Mr. Alfred MorrisTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what consideration he has given to the report "Blind and Partially Sighted Adults in Britain—The RNIB Needs Survey"; what action he will be taking in relation to its findings; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Heseltine[holding answer 12 November 1991]: I welcome the publication of this report, which gives us for the first time comprehensive and authoritative information about visually handicapped people in Britain. It will be of value to my Department when advice is given on the planning of programmes and the delivery of services in which attention is given to the special needs of visually handicapped people.
