Two mothers who lost their daughters to severe allergic reactions have asked the health secretary to appoint a national lead for people living with allergies

In a letter to Steve Barclay, Tanya Ednan-Laperouse and Emma Turay say there's currently no clear lines of accountability for overall NHS provision of allergy care. 

Putney-based Tanya lost her daughter, Natasha, after she ate a bun from Pret A Manger which included sesame at Heathrow airport. 

It's ahead of a debate in the commons on a petition which calls for a "champion for people with allergies".
