Providing British Sign Language/English interpreters (BSL) for UK Youth Parliament debates in the House of Commons

Berkshire-based language services provider Prestige Network Ltd has made history by providing two British Sign Language/English interpreters (BSL) for a series of UK Youth Parliament debates in the House of Commons.

The ground-breaking move comes as the UK Youth Parliament also makes history – it is the only time in 300 years that anyone other than MPs has been allowed to speak from there.

Prestige Network’s provision of two British Sign Language interpreters has helped oil the wheels of democracy for the 11 to 18-year-old elected Members of Youth Parliament taking up the seats in the Houses of Parliament normally occupied by MPs
