Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 February 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

When the noble Lord, Lord Nash, was a Minister, there was the case that he will remember of Oliver King, who had a sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 12. Oliver tragically died in the school swimming pool. His parents, like Mrs Blythe, campaigned for every school to have a defibrillator. The noble Lord, Lord Nash, sitting in his place today, met the parents on a number of occasions and started that process of ensuring that defibrillators are in schools.
