HC Deb 02 June 1997 vol 295 c90W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer by what means his Department makes available its publications in(a) Braille, (b) audio tape and (c) large print; and how this is publicised. [1688]

Mrs. Liddell

If requested Treasury publications would be made available in braille using braille transcripton services. However to date this has not been requested.

Similarly, if requested, the Treasury could make arrangements to have publications produced on audio tape.

However as these services cannot be provided in-house, they are not publicised as Treasury services.

In addition, all public Treasury documents are produced in the optimum typeface sizes (at least 12 point). These are also available on the Internet, where they can be heard by visually handicapped people who have access to a "talking computer" or can be printed out as text of any size.
