asked the Secretary of State for Wales what books of reference are used by his Department to guide those planning and designing new buildings, and major adaptations to existing buildings, on the needs of the visually handicapped, the hearing impaired, and the mentally handicapped.

Access for the Disabled: Design Guidance Notes and Wallchart; DES Design Notes, in particular 10, 18 and 25; Designing for the Disabled (3rd Edition) (1976); Various reference works issued by the DHSS; Handicapped at Home (Design Centre book).
