To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office what plans he has for departmental (a) White and (b) Green Papers to be made available on floppy disk format in a form which facilitates access for the visually impaired. [67851]

The Cabinet Office is about to issue revised guidance to departments on the arrangements for publishing White and Green Papers. This will highlight that, when considering the publishing arrangements for such documents, the information is accessible to people who might otherwise not be able to receive it in printed form. There are a number of options for making such documents available to those who are visually impaired, including braille, large print, audio formats and on floppy disk in plain text format. We will ensure that for all future White and Green Papers produced within the Cabinet Office that, when requested, we will be able to provide floppy disk versions to the visually impaired.
