§ Mrs. EwingTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) how much has been spent by his Department in each of the last three years to(a) produce public information in alternative formats for visually impaired people and (b) publicise the availability of accessible information among visually impaired people;
(2) if he will indicate which departmental publications are currently available (a) in Braille, (b) in large print and (c) on tape; and if he will indicate what efforts have been made by his Department to inform visually impaired people about the availability of publications in alternative formats to normal print.
§ Mr. NelsonIf a request were received for a Braille version of a particular document, the Treasury would assess the feasibility of using Cabinet Office facilities which exist to produce documents in this format. The majority of Treasury publications are available on computer disk, on request. Such disks can be processed by voice synthesizer packages.
