Hi Harvey and others,
Remember this well, as I was working on the slow-grind of 'supporting' a government agency come to terms with disability in those heady days. The press release in question can be accessed at:
http://www.gov-news.org/gov/uk/news/don39t_leave_disabled_customers_out_cold/75220.html

Hope you find what you're looking for...
