Make the wearing of lifejackets complusory

Additional Information

Each year Her Majesty’s Coastguard and the RNLI are requested to respond to incidents where fatalities occur on UK coasts and waterways. Many of these fatalities could have been avoided if the adult or child had been wearing a lifejacket or buoyancy aid.

Research indicates that wearing a lifejacket or buoyancy aid significantly increases the potential to prolong life and a person’s chances of surviving in the water, therefore we call upon Her Majesty’s Government to make the wearing of a lifejacket or buoyancy aid compulsory for everyone using UK waters, including (but not limited to) coastal areas, lakes, Lochs and other in-land waterways for commercial or leisure purposes.
