PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
LIP READING AND SIGN LANGUAGE TRAINING (20 November 2006)
Motion Details
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.
