That this House regrets the decision of ITV Wales to discontinue the provision of British Sign Language (BSL) translation of news headlines on their flagship news programme Wales Tonight; recognises that subtitling is not equivalent to BSL provision as BSL is a language in itself; calls upon broadcasters to ensure there is adequate BSL-interpreted output in their programming; and specifically calls on ITV Wales immediately to reverse this decision and to maintain this service in the long term.
