CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS

Early day motion 362, tabled 20 July 2016 by Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick (Social Democratic and Labour Party). Signed by 35 members.

That this House notes with concern that around 50 people a year still die as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning; highlights the recent research undertaken at Liverpool John Moores University which indicates it is low income households that are most at risk of monoxide poisoning; and calls on the Government, the Welsh Executive and the Northern Ireland Executive to follow the example of the Scottish Government and require all landlords to install carbon monoxide detectors in rented properties.
