Nearly 18 years ago my friend Eddie Tomlinson died while on a gap year in the Lebanon.

He went to sleep and never woke up – killed by Carbon Monoxide from a faulty heater.

His brother Michael Tomlinson MP has been raising awareness of #GasSafetyWeek and building on the work of his parents Howard and Heather to make people alert to the dangers of gas, whether CO or gas leaks in the home.

I’d like to join the Tomlinsons in their campaign on this issue.

If one more family can be prevented from going through this grief, then that is a job well done.

You can find out more information about gas safety at this website.

Make sure you know the signs, and get regular checks done.
