HC Deb 26 November 2001 vol 375 c698W
Vernon Coaker

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what assessment the Lord Chancellor has made of the support available to barristers who are disabled at Nottingham Crown court; and if he will make a statement. [15758]

Mr. Wills

In 1999 a Disability Discrimination Act accessibility audit was conducted at Nottingham Crown court, and all other Court Service courts. The audit found that the court at Nottingham is accessible to disabled court users. Court managers are willing to discuss the needs of all users in advance of them attending court.
