The motion

That this House congratulates Elaine Cunningham, whose original idea inspired the book “Mr Wheeze a Lot And His Very Important Friends,” which was written by Yvonne Bennett in memory of the late Lauren Reid; notes that Lauren passed away from an asthma attack at work in 2020 and that the group Lauren’s Law are working tirelessly to campaign for salbutamol inhalers to be available publicly in high-risk environments across the country for emergency use; further notes that this book is targeted at children and their parents to raise awareness of what to do in the crisis of an asthma attack; applauds the hard work of the campaign group; and also notes the importance of the work they are doing for the safety of constituents and members of the public to prevent avoidable tragedies.
