PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING (18 January 2006)

That this House recognises that carbon monoxide is still a major killer in the United Kingdom, claiming more than 30 lives each year, and that more than 50 per cent. of the general public are unaware of this fact; congratulates Hugh and Margaret Brennan, who lost their daughter Anne aged just 19 in 1995 to this silent killer which cut short her life when she was only in the second year of her English degree at Durham University, for their campaigning to end this continuing tragedy; and calls upon the Government further to examine the laws on landlords' responsibility for carbon monoxide poisoning and to renew efforts to warn the general public about such dangers.
