HC Deb 02 June 1997 vol 295 c85W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs by what means his Department makes available its publications in(a) Braille, (b) audio tape and (c) large print; and how this is publicised. [1686]

Mr. Fatchett

This Department's leaflet on British Consular Services Abroad is available in large print. We also provide an automated telephone answering service providing recorded travel advice on destinations which give rise to the most enquiries. Advice on other destinations is available from the Travel Advice Unit whose members can read out the advice or provide hard copies in large print. We are currently discussing with the RNIB how we can best publicise these services through RNIB publications. Other publications aimed at an overseas audience are not available in Braille, audio tape or large print.
