Royal Life Saving Society UK’s Don’t Drink and Drown Campaign

Lodged by Stuart McMillan (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) UK’s Don’t Drink and Drown campaign, which ran from 6 to 12 December 2021, to encourage smart decision-making while intoxicated around water; further notes that an average of 73 people lose their lives each year in the UK to substance-related drowning, which accounts for over 20% of the annual accidental drowning fatalities; commends the RLSS for its efforts to highlight the risks associated with entering water while under the influence, and hopes that this will help prevent substance-related drowning in the UK.
