Move follows request from Liberal Dem Sarah Teather<\/h3>\n
\"\"THE Houses of Parliament will print their guide book in Arabic for the first time.<\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The decison was made following a request from Liberal Democrat MP Sarah Teather. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Currently the Houses of Parliament print guides in a wide variety of world languages, including Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Urdu.\u00a0<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

But despite a large Middle Eastern population now living in the UK, and the Houses of Parliament\u2019s status as a world tourist destination, there has never previously been an Arabic language guide.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Sarah Teather raised the issue with Serjeant-at-Arms, Jill Pay, who agreed to organise the printing of an Arabic version. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parliament building is simply spectacular and a top destination for tourists from all over the world.\u00a0Arabic is a major world language, and there is no reason why Arabic guides should not appear beside those written in Chinese, Russian or Urdu,\u201d Ms Teather said. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cParliament is here to govern for the whole country, and people from every community in Britain should feel welcome when they come to visit.\u201d<\/div>\n
