To ask the Secretary of State for National Heritage (1) what arrangement his Department makes to ensure that blind and partially sighted people have access to information produced by his Department where it has not been published in alternative media such as Braille, large print or tape;(2) what is his Department's policy on which information produced by his Department is published in alternative media to standard print such as Braille, tape or large print.

The Department of National Heritage keeps under review the need to make information available to blind and partially sighted people.Last year, the Department made available Braille copies of the popular version of the BBC consultation document issued by the Department.
