Well as its a condition of Disability Descrimination Act they will be able to access the buildings I would imagine. My local council often add to their adverts that applications from minority groups and people with disabilities are encouraged and in a lot of cases guarantee an interview.

Unfortunately the access is not to good.
One fella in his wheelchair has to go a long way round and go out of a door at the back. ( I watched it on a show all about parliament).
Hopefully when it is refurbished and renovated it will be addressed.
