EDM number 601 in 2009-10, proposed by Gordon Banks on 13/01/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Consumers.

That this House acknowledges that in the last 10 years up to 20 children are reported to have lost their lives in the UK as a result of incidents involving looped blind cords; recognises the actions taken by countries such as Australia and the USA to remove the danger from looped blind cords; further supports the far-reaching conclusions delivered by Sheriff Mackie in Alloa Sheriff Court on 29 May 2009 in his determination of the Fatal Accident Inquiry into the tragic death of Muireann McLaughlin; urges the Government to respond immediately and postively to the recommendations made in his determination; and is of the opinion that such a response is long overdue.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
