§ Andrew SelousTo ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how much access audits will cost village and community halls and other voluntary, charitable or community service providers under the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. [109335]
§ Maria EagleAccess audits are not a formal legal requirement under the Disability Discrimination Act. Therefore we have no information on how much they might cost for any specific sector.
§ Andrew SelousTo ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what action he will take against village and community halls and other voluntary service providers who do not have the funds to make reasonable adjustments required by the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. [109336]
§ Maria EagleNone. The Disability Discrimination Act requires these organisations, like any other service provider, only to do what is reasonable to make their services accessible for disabled people. The cost of any 643W adjustments and the financial resources available to the sen/ice provider are taken into account in determining what is reasonable in each individual case.
