Time for another pointless Early Day Motion.

 As Paul Flynn calls for the nanny state to ban looped blind cords.

Breakfast TV Daybreak will broadcast another item on the death traps in our children's bedrooms tomorrow. I believe they will mention this EDM that will appear on tomorrow's order paper. Gordon Banks MP first raised this issue in 2008.

EDM Deaths caused by looped blind cords
That this House is distressed at the news of further deaths of infants caused by looped blind cords including that of 22 month old Joshua Wakeham  of Newport in January; notes the recent increase in these tragedies reported by 
RoSPA including three in the past month: recalls the 359 cord deaths in the USA in a 14 year period: regrets the slow progress by industry in introducing cords with safety features and urges a Government initiative to publicise the serious danger to the lives of children from the 250 million cords in British homes.

Next week Paul Flynn will issue an EDM on how the state should wipe everyones bottom for them....(probably)
