Government Buildings: Access

Danny Alexander
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer with reference to the answer of 29 October 2007, Official Report, column 889W, which buildings occupied by his Department (a) are and (b) are not considered main areas of the Treasury; and which buildings not considered main areas are not fully accessible to disabled people.

Angela Eagle
The term “main areas” referred to in the answer given on 29 October excluded the non-public areas such as plant rooms, roofs and other maintenance areas within the Treasury buildings where access may be restricted because of the configuration of machinery and plant, low ceiling heights, etc.
