had no wheelchair ramps and two-thirds of staff in shops had no training to help disabled

customers. Going to the bathroom is also difficult for people in wheelchairs. Over 40% of

restaurants and 30 per cent of stores have no accessible toilet.

Britain's Minister for Disabled People, Mark Harper, said it was unfair that the disabled

had such problems when shopping. He said people with disabilities should be able to

enjoy...shopping just like everyone else. He told reporters: "Everyone deserves to be able to

go...shopping or enjoy a festive meal or drink with their friends or colleagues." He added that

stores and restaurants were losing money because they did not help the disabled, saying: "This

isn't just about doing what's right. Businesses are missing a trick by not doing more to tap into

this market." He said: "A fifth of the British population has a disability and they and their

households have a spending power of over £200 billion [$310bn]."
