§ Mr. BurstowTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many of his Department's publications have been made available in(a) Braille, (b) audio tape and (c) large print in 1997–98; and what percentage of the total number of publications this represents. [54277]
§ Ms HewittIf requested Treasury publications would be made available in Braille using Braille transcription services. Similarly, if requested, the Treasury would make arrangements to have publications produced on audio tape. However to date these services have not been requested.
All public Treasury documents are produced in the optimum typeface sizes for legibility. 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 displayed and printed out as text of any size.
