[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill proposes to give lipreading an official status in UK law, probably by setting quality standards, requiring proper training, or establishing it as a recognized profession. It aims to improve communication access for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, ensuring they receive consistent, reliable support when lipreading is used.

Presented by Ian Lavery.
