The Patents Office (the folks within Govt. responsible for copyright
issues) have been undergoing a consultation period with respect to
Copyright and access for Visually Impaired people.
It looks like the consultative period is over (like so many "consultative
periods" it does not look like too many people were aware of it or that it
lasted very long) however the Bill is still in early parliamentary stages
as I stated before.
I have so far failed to find a copy of the actual bill. I'm thinking of
writing to the MP responsible for the Bill (Rachel Squire) asking how to
get a copy.
