MP Vincent Cable has set up a new arrangement with RAID, the disabled advice information service in Teddington, to provide a special MPs advice surgery for local disabled people. Vincent Cable will be available, by appointment, from 2 to 4pm on the first Friday of every month at the Teddington offices of RAID, (Richmond Advice and Information on Disability) 4 Waldegrave Road Teddington.

Vincent Cable said: "I do meet a lot of disabled people, who have major problems in relation to the benefits system or housing in particular; but I am conscious that some find it difficult to get to see me. I am very grateful to the management of RAID that they have agreed to this new arrangement so that disabled constituents can meet me with the minimum of inconvenience and with easy access".
