Julie Hilling (Bolton West) (Lab)
In advance of the debate tomorrow, I received a petition from residents of the United Kingdom. The original petition organised by the British Heart Foundation received 124,665 signatures.
The petition states:
The Petition from residents of the United Kingdom,
Declares that the Petitioners believe that knowing how to stop bleeding, open an airway or perform CPR is an essential part of a young person’s education; and the Government should take steps to ensure that there is a new generation of life savers across the UK.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to make emergency life support skills a part of the curriculum to be taught in all schools
And the Petitioners remain, etc.
