HC Deb 04 February 1997 vol 289 c552W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Dpearmtent what is his policy regarding disabled access to police stations: and if he will make a statement. [14107]

Mr. Maclean

the Home Office police buildings design guide, issued in April 1994, recommends that all new police buildings in England and Wales, to which civilian employees or the public are expected to have access, should afford access for disabled people. Existing buildings which do not fulfil these requirements are being upgraded by police authorities as resources permit.
