Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has received representations on access to a video relay service. This includes recent correspondence from Jim Fitzpatrick MP (Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Deafness) in relation to changing existing legislation to expand Ofcom’s remit to include the regulation of Captioned Telephone Relay and Video Relay Services.
