Motion text

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.
