asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what representations he has received, and what consultation he has had, with the Central Council for the Disabled on the housing and environmental problems of the chronically sick and disabled; what replies he has made; what further action he is taking; and if he will make a statement.

My right hon. Friend had a meeting last month with the Central Council for the Disabled. Among other matters, my Department, in consultation with the Central Council, is now examining the possibility of a document setting out examples of access provision for the disabled.
