I look forward to what I hope will be a positive debate about the benefits of supporting British Sign Language, and the benefits of Mark Griffin’s bill. 14:47 It gives me great pleasure to open the debate for Scottish Labour and pledge our support for Mark Griffin’s British Sign Language (Scotland) Bill, particularly during deaf awareness week, which we are now celebrating. I thank him for proposing this extremely significant bill and congratulate him on not only bringing it to the chamber but the way in which he has conducted himself throughout the bill’s progress.
