The parents of a Bradford schoolgirl who died after taking the pill are launching their campaign on the world wide web.

Caroline Bacon's parents set up a pressure group after their 15-year-old daughter died in 1994 after suffering a stroke and are now setting up their own Internet site.

As revealed exclusively in the Telegraph & Argus last week, the family have been given new hope by Tony Blair who has pledged to make inquiries into her death.

Jenny and Tom Bacon, who live in Allerton, said they were "over the moon" after receiving a letter from the Prime Minister who has asked the Department of Health to look again at Caroline's case. The couple have campaigned to stop doctors from prescribing the pill to young girls without their parents consent and started the Parents Against Oral Contraception for Children pressure group. They believe that Caroline died as a result of being prescribed the contraceptive pill Femodene by a Bradford family planning clinic.

"We already get letters from people as far away as Japan and America but being on the Internet will open up a whole new range of possibilities," said Mrs Bacon.

"We can swap information with others and it means that our campaign will be known throughout the world. I'm sure there are many other cases of pill-related deaths throughout the world and it will put us in touch with other families who have perhaps been through a similar thing."
