British Sign Language bill wins backbench Members ballot
Following his success in the Members’ ballot for his proposed British Sign Language (Wales) Bill, Welsh Conservative Senedd Member for North Wales, Mark Isherwood MS said:
“I am delighted to be in a position where I can bring my much-needed British Sign Language Bill forward, develop it and have it debated in the Senedd.
“The barriers that exist for deaf people and their families in education, health, public services, support services and in the workplace need to be removed and this Bill seeks to do just that.
“I look forward to working and engaging with stakeholder organisations to develop a Bill that gives deaf communities a voice in the design and delivery of services to ensure they meet their needs.”
