§ 34. Mr. GerrardTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what assistance his Department gives to businesses developing textphones and similar aids for disabled people.
§ Mr. Ian TaylorSeven different types of textphones have received approval from the British Approvals Board for Telecommunications. Whilst the development of aids of this type for disabled people is obviously important, I do not believe the companies involved in these developments need special support from my Department.
