Schoolgirl Victoria Seigler has a practical suggestion to make to the Prime Minister when she meets him tomorrow.

She knows many organisations are having trouble meeting the stipulation in the Disability Discrimination Act that all public buildings should be accessible to wheelchairs by next year.

Instead, Victoria, who is herself wheelchair-bound, suggests a system of grading buildings according to how accessible they are.

There's no doubt that all new buildings should be built so people in wheelchairs can get around.

But there's often enormous difficulty in adapting old and historic buildings. In some cases it is impossible.

Victoria, who has brittle bone disease, is meeting Tony Blair after winning a competition saying what she would do for disabled people if she was Premier.

The 14-year-old from Hove is already a seasoned campaigner for the rights of disabled people, despite needing round the clock care.

Her idea seems eminently sensible. It would let disabled people know exactly what to expect when they go to public buildings.

It would also give owners an incentive to cater for disabled people.

The Prime Minister should be warned that facing Robin Cook or Clare Short will seem easy after he's found out just how determined Victoria can be.
