HC Deb 03 February 1992 vol 203 cc10-1W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Prime Minister what action he proposes to undertake as a result of the findings of the Royal National Institute of the Blind survey into provisions for the blind and partially sighted.

The Prime Minister

I welcome the survey as a useful supplement to the information contained in earlier surveys of disability. Ministerial colleagues in the Departments of Health, of Social Security and of Employment have met or will shortly be meeting representatives of the Royal National Institute for the Blind to discuss the implications of the survey for their programmes. The survey is also being carefully considered in other departments with an interest.
