Signing On ITV Wales News (EDM704)

Signing On ITV Wales News

EDM number 704 in 2008-09, proposed by Alun Michael on 05/02/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Broadcasting and Disability discrimination.

That this House regrets the decision of ITV Wales to discontinue the provision of British Sign Language (BSL) translation of news headlines on their flagship news programme Wales Tonight; recognises that subtitling is not equivalent to BSL provision as BSL is a language in itself; calls upon broadcasters to ensure there is adequate BSL-interpreted output in their programming; and specifically calls on ITV Wales immediately to reverse this decision and to maintain this service in the long term.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
