14th July 2007: Connect2u is delighted to welcome
the Rt. Hon. Lord Ashley of Stoke
as its first official FRIEND.

Lord Ashley was first elected as Labour MP for Stoke on Trent South in 1966. He became totally deaf

following a minor operation in 1967 but went on to become a powerful spokesman for deaf and hard of

hearing people. At the 1992 General Election, he retired from the House of Commons and soon after

was made a Life Peer, Baron Ashley of Stoke. Lord Ashley continues to work tirelessly for people with

disabilities and has secured significant legislative reform affecting millions of people with disabilities.
