§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will indicate the number of children and young people who have benefited from the use of Blisssymbolics in the United Kingdom; if he will give an estimate of the number of potential users of this system as a means of communication; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. BoysonThis information is not available in the Department. Blisssymbolics is one of several systems of symbols or manual signing for those suffering from physical or mental handicap, deafness, autism or defect of speech and the choice of system is entirely a matter for the particular school or teacher concerned.
