§ Mr. BurstowTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many of his Department's publications have been available in(a) Braille, (b) audio tape and (c) large print in each year since 1992; and what percentage of the total number of publications this represents in each case. [7639]
§ Mr. Ron DaviesMy Department has made available bi-lingual versions of the following publications both in large print and audio tape since 1995. For previous years comparable information is not readily available.
1995–96The Mental Handicap Strategy guidance (audio tape).A Brief Guide to the Disability Discrimination Act for people with learning disabilities (large print and audio tape).1996–97A Patients Charter for Wales (audio tape).This represents about 2 per cent. of the total number of publications produced in each year.
