The ground-breaking move comes as the UK Youth Parliament also makes history – it is the only time in 300 years that anyone other than MPs has been allowed to speak from there. The 11 to 18-year-old elected Members of Youth Parliament took up the seats in the Houses of Parliament normally occupied by MPs on Friday 30th October.

Mr Chris Barnes, Head of Public Sector Sales at Prestige Network, said: “We are very proud that Prestige Network has played a key role in the democratic process by providing two British Sign Language/English interpreters.

“The House of Commons Overseas Office placed the order with us on Tuesday, just two clear days away from the occasion itself. They were pleased that we were able to help out – they had approached several organisations, but we managed to find people for them within 15 minutes.
