Petition Add defib training to primary curriculum & centralise info on defib locations
Put defibrillator training on the syllabus to ensure children are trained to use the device. There isn’t a shortage of defibrillators - the problem is that people are unsure how to use them. If they learn this skill they have it for life.
Make sure anyone can locate the nearest defib on an app.

What are backbench business debates?
Backbench business debates give backbenchers (MPs who aren’t ministers or shadow ministers) an opportunity to secure a debate on a topic of their choice, either in the Chamber or Westminster Hall.
MPs can make a request for a debate to the Backbench Business Committee, who hears and decides which debates to schedule.
Backbench debates can either be general debates (which do not end in a vote) or be on a substantive motion (which calls for an action and can end in a vote). This debate will be a general debate/ on a substantive motion.
