A new national campaign has been launched to encourage people to use an audible carbon monoxide alarm. The 'Carbon Monoxide - Be Alarmed!' campaign also encourages people to have all their gas, oil and solid-fuel burning appliances serviced annually be a registered and qualified engineer. The campaign is backed by victims' charities, energy companies and professional organisations, and by Kirstie Allsopp, of Channel 4's Location, Location, Location.
"Audible alarms cost £15 and can be fitted in seconds. They could save you life. I urge every household to make sure that they have an alarm and that their fuel-burning appliances are serviced each year by a professional."
The 'Carbon Monoxide - Be Alarmed!' campaign came to Parliament on the 12th of November, David was amongst the Members who took part in a briefing held by the campaign. David also took part in a breath test to check his carbon monoxide levels - you'll be pleased to know that he is well!
