ST JOHN AMBULANCE

Early day motion 432, tabled 18 December 2002 by Paul Burstow (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 34 members.

That this House recognises the invaluable work of St John Ambulance; notes that neither the Department of Health or Treasury were aware that the charity carried out over 240,000 hours of accident and emergency cover in 2001; further notes that without the dedicated members of St John Ambulance, NHS ambulance services would be under even greater pressure; and calls upon the Government to examine the possibility of introducing a VAT exemption for the fuel for its ambulances.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 20, Labour 8, Conservative 2, Plaid Cymru 2, UUP 2.
