Rnid Read My Lips! Campaign

EDM number 449 in 2008-09, proposed by Bob Spink on 14/01/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Equality.

That this House congratulates the RNID on its Read my lips! campaign to improve access to lip-reading; notes that there are nine million deaf and hard of hearing people in the UK and understands the critical importance of lip-reading classes so these people can retain their dignity and independence in work and socially; further notes with concern that a number of counties have introduced fees for these classes and that this is causing hardship, and sometimes preventing vulnerable people benefiting from lip-reading classes; and therefore asks Ministers to kindly follow up previous calls for this matter to be investigated and to seek to persuade county councils, such as Essex which is one of the worst offenders, to take a more caring attitude to lip-reading class charges.

This motion has been signed by a total of 85 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
