BSL Bill (Scotland) – Sign-Tube Interview with Cathie Craigie MSP, Convenor of the Scottish Parliament Cross Party Group on Deafness

Interview in BSL through an interpreter. Please note: sound is quite faint, and the audio of Cathie Craigie’s speech is synchronised with the BSL/English interpreter, so slightly out of synch with Cathie Craigie.

Running Time 15 minutes 56 seconds.
