  The MP has lodged an Early Day Motion (EDM) in Parliament calling for better hearing loop provision following research by Action on Hearing Loss - formerly RNID - which found that eighty six per cent of surveyed businesses in the UK are at risk of being inaccessible because of problems with, or absence of, hearing loops. The main problems were that the loops were not switched on, in working order, or staff didn't know how to operate them.
