Voice Podcasts: Alex speaks to Nick Clegg, and making conference accessible

In our final two Podcasts, Alex Foster speaks to Nick Clegg, Liberal Democrat shadow Home Affairs spokesperson about his week in Brighton, and to Jeremy Hargreaves of the Federal Conference Committee, to hear about moves to make conference more accessible to the disabled.

It’s worth drawing out here the efforts the conference committee is going to to improve facilities for the disabled. Highlights include:

  • All fringe venues wheelchair accessible
  • One (adjustable) lectern for all speakers
  • Sign language interpretation for 100% of debates and speeches
  • A new fund to enable wheelchair users to attend conference

Finally, you can see highlights of each day’s debates on BBC Parliament: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
