The motion

That this House commends the Small Talk Saves Lives campaign, led by Samaritans, Network Rail and British Transport Police, for encouraging simple conversations that can prevent suicide; and pays tribute to Kelly Holyoake, a railway worker from New Addington trained by the Samaritans, whose instinctive and compassionate actions helped save a life at her station, noting that her story highlights the importance of ensuring transport workers have access to suicide prevention training, and illuminates the vital role transport staff play in supporting vulnerable passengers.
