HC Deb 25 February 1998 vol 307 c295W
Mr. Levitt

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if information produced as part of the New Deal promotion campaign will be available in British Sign Language. [30456]

Mr. Andrew Smith

Information from the New Deal campaign will be included in the next two editions of the Public Scene video magazine, which uses the British Sign Language and English subtitles, and is sent to contacts working with deaf people throughout the UK. The editions will appear in April and October 1998.

The New Deal advertisements can be viewed with teletext subtitles that include a text phone number which can be used to obtain printed information about New Deal. Audio cassette and Braille versions of the New Deal young people's booklet are also available on request.
