If you let me have your fax number, I can fax you a page from a pamphlet I have on Designing for Accessibility, which shows you the requirements.

My colleague suggests that the DDA will advise on a door width of 800mm internal & 850mm external by 2004. Current standards by Building control are as you suggest. However there must also be a 300mm clear space between the door edge & the adjacent wall to allow for operation of the door.

As Ron begins to say, there are more considerations for wheel-chair access than minimum door width. See Approved Document M to the Building Regulations and then add some.
