From: Chris Whitehead Sent: Monday, 7 December 2009 7:22 PM To: disabdis Subject: Captioning Dear Sir/Madam, I would like to oppose the application for the exemption from the Disability Discrimination Act by the Cinema Industry. I believe deaf and hard of hearing people deserve access to a greater number of cinemas that offer captioning. I feel that if this exemption is granted, the number of cinemas offering captioning and the number of times per week is just not sufficient to meet the needs of this disadvantaged group of people. Yours sincerely Chris Whitehead Audiologist
