Handwashing With Soap

EDM number 2200 in 2005-06, proposed by John Barrett on 17/05/2006.

That this House commends the good work done by the Global Partnership for Handwashing with Soap; notes that handwashing is the single most cost effective method to reduce the spread of infections and diseases; is concerned by figures from the British Medical Journal which show that only 34 per cent. of men and 58 per cent. of women wash their hands after using the toilet; notes that effective handwashing would have reduced the spread of E coli following the recent outbreak in Scotland; and calls on the Government to back a new awareness campaign and to work with soap producers and health experts to raise the awareness of the importance of handwashing with soap in the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 59 MPs.
