With your permission, Mr. Speaker, I want to draw the House's attention to your Speaker's Conference, which will see how the opportunities to increase the number of disabled people in the House may be advanced. I also draw attention to the fact that my hon. Friend Miss Begg is vice-chairman of your Speaker's Conference.

I turn to the question asked by my right hon. Friend Jacqui Smith. Improving accessibility and facilities for members, staff and the public is one of the House's priorities. The visitor route is now largely wheelchair-accessible. Facilities are also available for visually impaired and deaf or hard-of-hearing visitors. A leaflet giving access information to disabled visitors, Members of both Houses and passholders has recently been produced.
