Departments: Disabled

Volume 468: debated on Monday 26 November 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions with reference to the answer of 29 October 2007, Official Report, columns 784-9W, on departments: disabled, where the information on which of the buildings of which his Department is the major occupier are fully accessible to disabled people is held; and how many of the buildings of which his Department is the major occupier have had audits to determine whether they are fully accessible to disabled people. (163968)

Accessibility audits were commissioned in 2004 for all of the 1,191 buildings where my Department is the major occupier. The resultant national programme of works to improve access for disabled people was completed in 2006. Building accessibility is subject to review annually. Information on building accessibility is held at individual site level.
