BRAILLE ID CARDS

Early day motion 994, tabled 13 March 2002 by Jon Trickett (Labour). Signed by 84 members.

That this House welcomes the initiative taken by the Council for Registered Gas Installers to introduce Braille information on ID cards carried by all CORGI registered installers; notes that it has the approval and support of the Royal National Institute for the Blind; believes that it provides assurance to visually impaired consumers of such services who may otherwise be unable to check the credentials of doorstep callers; and urges other organisations whose representatives and technicians call upon domestic consumers to follow this example of service to consumers.
