Disabled policy
Sir: In his anxiety to demolish any enter- prise that he perceives to be 'for the disabled' and therefore doctrinally dis- tasteful, Auberon Waugh (Another voice, 17 January) laments the Government's introduction of regulations requiring that new public building are accessible to peo- ple in wheelchairs. His fear that meritor- L°us upright people are being penalised is, "owever, unwarranted. Had he attended Our March 1985 national conference he would have learnt from the then Secretary of State for the Environment that the objective is not to foster a 'for the disabled' cult but to shape environments that are fore efficient and no less economic for everyone. Indeed, the British Property rederation which we would expect to Protest were this not the case, is on record aso being in stout support.
