Footnotes

1 The signed news bulletins on daily television seem to have stopped in Scotland - Deaf respondents did not seem to know why. This contrasts markedly with English regions where for example, in Bristol, there are two daily news bulletins on local channels and a weekly signed local magazine programme.
