THE PARENTS of a six-year-old girl who died after choking on a grape whilst on holiday on the Llyn Peninsula are calling on the government to lift restrictions on a life-saving suction device.

In a new petition, already backed by 1,000 signatories, Rob and Kathy Lapsley (seen right), from Anfield in Liverpool, have urged the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to allow the general public to access LifeVac, a portable suction device which may have saved their daughter Jasmine.

In August 2014, Jasmine died after choking on a grape whilst she was staying at a holiday home at Lôn Bodlondeb, in Morfa Nefyn.
