Lip Reading And Sign Language Training

EDM number 151 in 2006-07, proposed by Phil Willis on 20/11/2006.

That this House notes that the Government does not provide free lip reading and sign language classes to all learners on the basis that they are not basic skills; acknowledges that lip reading and signing are vital means of communication for those with serious hearing impairments, their families and their carers; and calls on the Government to review the classification of lip reading and sign language courses with a view to redefining them as basic skills.

This motion has been signed by a total of 119 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
