This could potentially save someone’s life.","additional_details":"In November 2023, my younger brother collapsed outside a neighbour’s house on the pavement. We could not see him from our living room window, nor did we know he had collapsed because there is a wall in said neighbour’s front garden and he was on the other side on the pavement. \r\n \r\nHe was eventually brought into our home where he collapsed and died suddenly. We believe a legal duty to help someone found unconscious in public could have helped him and could help other cases like this.\r\n","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":94,"closing_date":"2026-12-08","created_at":"2026-04-28T13:02:39.952Z","updated_at":"2026-07-14T19:50:30.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-06-08T14:08:34.198Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-05-08T18:46:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Tajinder Singh","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MoJ","name":"Ministry of Justice","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":94}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Bassetlaw","ons_code":"E14001079","mp":"Jo White MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Beaconsfield","ons_code":"E14001082","mp":"Joy Morrissey MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brent East","ons_code":"E14001122","mp":"Dawn Butler MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brentford and Isleworth","ons_code":"E14001124","mp":"Ruth Cadbury MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bristol North East","ons_code":"E14001133","mp":"Damien Egan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chesham and Amersham","ons_code":"E14001162","mp":"Sarah Green MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Chingford and Woodford Green","ons_code":"E14001167","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ealing Southall","ons_code":"E14001209","mp":"Deirdre Costigan MP","signature_count":39},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Eastbourne","ons_code":"E14001219","mp":"Josh Babarinde MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Edmonton and Winchmore Hill","ons_code":"E14001221","mp":"Kate Osamor MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Enfield North","ons_code":"E14001225","mp":"Feryal Clark MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Feltham and Heston","ons_code":"E14001236","mp":"Seema Malhotra MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Gedling","ons_code":"E14001245","mp":"Michael Payne MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hackney North and Stoke Newington","ons_code":"E14001259","mp":"Rt Hon Diane Abbott MP","signature_count":3},{"name":"Hackney South and Shoreditch","ons_code":"E14001260","mp":"Dame Meg Hillier MP","signature_count":6},{"name":"Hastings and Rye","ons_code":"E14001274","mp":"Helena Dollimore MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hayes and Harlington","ons_code":"E14001276","mp":"Rt Hon John McDonnell MP","signature_count":9},{"name":"Kingswinford and South Staffordshire","ons_code":"E14001316","mp":"Mike Wood MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Leicester East","ons_code":"E14001326","mp":"Shivani Raja MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Leyton and Wanstead","ons_code":"E14001334","mp":"Mr Calvin Bailey MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Manchester Central","ons_code":"E14001352","mp":"Rt Hon Lucy Powell MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Morecambe and Lunesdale","ons_code":"E14001372","mp":"Lizzi Collinge MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North Somerset","ons_code":"E14001399","mp":"Sadik Al-Hassan MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rochester and Strood","ons_code":"E14001447","mp":"Lauren Edwards MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner","ons_code":"E14001454","mp":"David Simmonds MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Runnymede and Weybridge","ons_code":"E14001456","mp":"Dr Ben Spencer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Southampton Test","ons_code":"E14001500","mp":"Satvir Kaur MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Spelthorne","ons_code":"E14001505","mp":"Lincoln Jopp MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Swindon North","ons_code":"E14001536","mp":"Will Stone MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Torbay","ons_code":"E14001551","mp":"Steve Darling MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Tottenham","ons_code":"E14001553","mp":"Rt Hon David Lammy MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Twickenham","ons_code":"E14001556","mp":"Munira Wilson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Uxbridge and South Ruislip","ons_code":"E14001558","mp":"Danny Beales MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Walthamstow","ons_code":"E14001563","mp":"Ms Stella Creasy MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey","ons_code":"S14000098","mp":"Graham Leadbitter MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":2},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":3},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":71},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":11},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":5},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":1}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
