HC Deb 14 February 1996 vol 271 c587W
Mr. Alfred Morris

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the progress of the work of the Home Office working party on the personal safety of disabled people. [14139]

Mr. Maclean

The Home Office working party set up in 1993 to help the Suzy Lamplugh Trust produce personal safety advice for disabled people completed its task in May 1995 when a consultative document, together with a leaflet entitled "Out and About"—which offers advice for disabled people when travelling around—was published.

I understand that the Suzy Lamplugh Trust has followed up this work with further initiatives, including the provision of training workshops for disabled people and carers.
