The bill would require automated external defibrillators (AEDs) to be installed in a wide range of public spaces, including schools, further and higher education institutions, sports venues and places that provide care for vulnerable people. It also requires training for staff and clear signs showing where the AEDs are located to help people respond quickly in an emergency.
The bill started in the Commons in December 2020 and is currently at its second reading in the Commons. If it progresses, it would move through the usual stages in both Houses and require Royal Assent to become law.
