HC Deb 12 May 1988 vol 133 c235W
Mr. Sims

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment whether he has any plans to extend the communication service for the deaf to the enterprise allowance scheme.

Mr. Cope

The nature of the enterprise allowance scheme means that participants attend very few formal meetings. Interpreters can be provided for deaf people attending the introductory awareness day and for their free business counselling sessions with the small firms service.
