Biography
Lord Jordan has engaged with public health and prevention topics through two debate speeches focused on accident prevention, emphasising the scale of preventable deaths and injuries in the UK as a growing crisis demanding greater policy attention. Drawing on his role as life president of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, he has highlighted that accidents are the leading cause of avoidable deaths and injuries, occurring in domestic and community settings, and stressed both their astronomical costs to the nation and their human impact on families.

“My Lords, as life president of RoSPA, I welcome the opportunity today to speak on an issue that crucially affects us all: the growing crisis of preventable accidents. It is not receiving the attention or urgency it deserves, and people are dying because of that. Accidents are not rare or isolated incidents.”

What they’ve said
“My Lords, it is a privilege to follow the powerful remarks—we have a problem; it sounds as though my mic is reverberating—of my noble friend Lady Crawley. She laid out the scale of the challenge that we face in accident prevention. I will not repeat her words, but I hope to try to reinforce them.”
