Oban and District Access Panel Update Braille Labelling Campaign – January 2024 As intimated at the last meeting, the Scottish Government Petitions Committee was going to assess the updated information lodged in support of the campaign. I am pleased to report that the Committee agreed to keep the Petition OPEN and asked for further information to be supplied by Food Standards Scotland and the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs with reference to possible timescales. The Committee was particularly interested to learn more about the recently completed European study which has confirmed that technology alone is not the solution to the highlighted problem but is a useful tool to complement the original identification of the product using Braille. Should anyone who has not supported the Campaign they can register their support by using the following link http:/petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE1997. Locally we have contributed to information which was circulated on World Braille Day, 4th January 2024.
