We ask the UK Government to introduce legislation requiring all holiday accommodation, including short-term lets and rentals, to install and maintain working carbon monoxide alarms, with mandatory regular safety checks and proper enforcement.
This petition is written by a mother whose heart has been broken forever. My daughter and her boyfriend died from carbon monoxide poisoning whilst on holiday in Bridlington. Carbon monoxide is a silent, preventable killer. No family should go away and not come home. Stronger laws are needed to ensure all holiday accommodation has working carbon monoxide alarms to prevent further devastating loss.
Government response
The Government supports carbon monoxide safety through existing regulation; we will engage with regulators and across government departments to consider whether additional measures are needed.
