PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
BRITISH RED CROSS FIRST AID AND ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN (9 October 2005)
Motion Details
That this House notes research that shows that eight people die each day on UK roads, that over half these deaths happen in the first few minutes after a crash before the emergency services arrive, and that up to 85 per cent. of preventable pre-hospital deaths may be due to airway obstruction which could be avoided with basic first aid; welcomes the British Red Cross campaigns to promote first aid and road safety; and calls on the Government to consider ways to ensure that all new drivers get more effective first aid training.
