Madeleine Moon MP - Working hard for Bridgend
Madeleine Moon MP Praises Local Primary School
Madeleine Moon, MP for Bridgend yesterday asked for a debate in the House of Commons on the increased teaching and use of British sign language.
Madeleine called for the debate following a visit to Archdeacon John Lewis Primary School, where children as young as three were being taught not only Welsh and English, but sign language as well.
Following the visit Madeleine commented: "As there are two profoundly deaf children in the school, all the school children have taken responsibility for learning British Sign Language: and that is very commendable".
The Leader of the House of Commons, Jack Straw MP, responded by saying that: "As someone who takes a close interest in matters relating to the deaf, I applaud my hon. Friends interest"
