We will then arrange for an independent organisation to provide BSL interpretation of the briefing in question, further to an arrangement that came into effect on 26 November. That BSL interpretation will be made available on government social media channels (including the No 10 YouTube channel). It will also be made available to broadcasters and other media outlets for TV and social media channels.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 12/07/2021 17:02:20 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
