That this House remembers John McNab, who tragically lost his life following a stabbing in Leith on 2nd September 2025; commends his mother, Lisa Petrie, for establishing the Not In Vain campaign in his memory; recognises the campaign's work is to increase access to emergency bleed control kits and training across local communities, with more than 100 bleed kits now distributed across Edinburgh and Leith; notes the potential of such kits to save lives following traumatic injuries; and welcomes efforts to install bleed kits in public spaces, schools, sports clubs and community venues.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will consider introducing (a) tax relief and (b) grants for SMEs to offset the cost of staff first aid training, similar to the apprenticeship levy model.

The Government recognises that the cumulative burden of taxation, business rates, regulation and reporting requirements impose costs on businesses, recognising that smaller firms can experience these burdens more acutely.
The Government assesses the effects of tax and regulatory measures when they are introduced and keeps wider pressures on businesses under review. For example, tax measures are accompanied by assessments of their impacts on businesses, and the Government has published analysis of the Employment Rights Act. That analysis estimates its costs at around 0.1 per cent of annual employment costs.
The Government has taken action to reduce administrative and compliance burdens, while considering the wider operating environment for small and medium sized businesses (SMEs). This includes increasing the monetary size thresholds for micro-entities, SMEs and large companies in April 2025 – moving 132,000 firms onto lighter touch reporting requirements, and saving £185m per year.
Around one third of properties pay no business rates through 100 per cent Small Business Rate Relief, with a further 85,000 benefiting from tapered relief. The Small Business Regulatory Taskforce is identifying further opportunities to streamline regulation and reduce administrative burdens, including those associated with reporting and data requirements. The Government continues to support employers through wider labour market and skills policies, including fully funded apprenticeship training for eligible young people in SMEs.
The Treasury works closely on small business issues with the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade which is the lead department on SME policy.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether there are plans to make first aid training a mandatory component of the national curriculum.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether there are plans to make first aid training a mandatory component of the national curriculum.
All state funded schools are required to teach first aid as part of the health education set out in the relationships, sex and health education (RSHE) statutory guidance. Independent schools are required to cover health education as part of their responsibility to provide personal, social, health and economic education.
The statutory RSHE guidance includes basic first aid for primary school children, for example dealing with common injuries, such as head injuries. Pupils in secondary schools are taught further first aid, for example how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the purpose of defibrillators and how to use them.
Schools have autonomy to work with external providers, including the British Heart Foundation, and to use teaching resources from Oak National Academy, to deliver specific first aid teaching, if they think it is topical or there is particular local relevance.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of CPR and defibrillator questions in driving theory tests.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of CPR and defibrillator questions in driving theory tests.
Information about first aid, including CPR, is already included in the official learning materials by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), the Highway Code and Driving Essential Skills. Questions are then asked as part of the driver theory test to check learning has taken place.
All questions within the theory test, including those on CPR and defibrillators, are evaluated regularly to ensure they are performing correctly, are accessible and that DVSA is providing a fair test to learners.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of including practical cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillator awareness training as part of the driving licence practical test.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of including practical cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillator awareness training as part of the driving licence practical test.
Information about first aid, including CPR, is already included in the official learning materials by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), the Highway Code and Driving Essential Skills. Questions are then asked as part of the driver theory test to check learning has taken place.
The requirement for learner drivers to complete accredited CPR and defibrillator awareness training as part of the process of obtaining a full driving licence would require legislative change. There are no current plans to introduce mandatory CPR training as part of the learning to drive process.
DVSA believes testing this knowledge at theory test stage is the correct and proportionate approach. It is important the practical driving test examines as rigorously as possible a person’s ability to drive safely in different road and traffic conditions.
