PARENTAL SUPERVISION IN SWIMMING POOLS

Early day motion 11, tabled 17 May 2005 by Hugh Robertson (Conservative). Signed by 96 members.

That this House notes that the current guidance from the Health and Safety Executive and the Institute of Sport and Recreation Management on parental supervision of children in swimming pools is leading many pools to exclude children, particularly those from single parent or large families; observes that learning to swim is a key skill for the safety and health of all children; and urges the Government to take action to lift the restrictions and ensure that all children have access to swimming pools.

Signatures by party: Conservative 69, Labour 11, Liberal Democrat 10, DUP 4, Plaid Cymru 1, UUP 1.
