Proceeding contribution from Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 July 2026. It occurred during Debate on Defibrillators in Police Vehicles.


Defibrillators in Police Vehicles

I commend the hon. Gentleman for securing this debate. By equipping every police vehicle with a device, such as the CU Medical iPAD SP1 or the Defibtech Lifeline AUTO, we will expand our chain of survival on the roads. Our police officers are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that we must give them the physical tools to ensure that when a father, mother or child collapses on our streets, they have the best possible fighting chance of returning home to their loved ones—the very thing he is trying to achieve?
