Right To Read Charter For Print Disabled People (EDM1703)

Right To Read Charter For Print Disabled People

EDM number 1703 in 2005-06, proposed by Annette Brooke on 28/02/2006.

That this House expresses its concern that one year after the Right to Read Charter was handed in to Number 10 Downing Street with over 32,000 signatures, no Government funding has been made available to increase the amount of books available in large print, audio and Braille; notes that each year less than five per cent. of books become available in formats accessible to people with a visual impairment, dyslexia or other reading-related disability; further notes that this figure has not changed in the last year; and therefore calls on the Government to take urgent steps to end the exclusion of print disabled people from being able to gain access to books, magazines and newspapers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 73 MPs.
