Access To Telecommunication Services For Deaf And Hard Of Hearing People

EDM number 1915 in 2008-09, proposed by Malcolm Bruce on 16/07/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Disability discrimination and Telecommunications.

That this House believes that deaf and severely hard of hearing people are being excluded from benefiting from modern telecommunications; recognises that improvements and modernisation are needed to the telephone relay services by which they and hearing telephone users communicate; further recognises that the technology required to bring about these improvements is available and is in use in several countries; further believes that wide availability of broadband connections will dramatically enhance the relay service facilities that can be offered; and calls on the Government to use the Digital Britain report as the basis to introduce a package of service developments and funding which will end the exclusion of a million of our fellow citizens.

This motion has been signed by a total of 55 MPs.
