HC Deb 31 July 1998 vol 317 cc684-5W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs 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. [54276]

Mr. Fatchett

The FCO leaflet on British Consular Services Abroad is available in large print. The FCO also provides an automated telephone answering service offering recorded travel advice on destinations which give rise to the most inquiries. Advice on other destinations is available from the FCO's Travel Advice Unit whose members can read out the advice or provide hard copies in large print. Other FCO publications aimed at overseas audiences are not available in Braille, audio tape or large print.
