HC Deb 18 May 1995 vol 260 c367W
Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list those European Union countries which provide ballot papers in local, national and European elections in Braille; and if he will make a statement. [24113]

Mr. Nicholas Baker

I am not aware that any of the member states provide ballot papers in Braille. As in this country, blind voters throughout the Community may choose someone to help them to vote.

Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to introduce Braille ballot papers in local, national and European elections; and if he will make a statement. [24112]

Mr. Nicholas Baker

There are no plans to do so.
