VOLUNTEERS IN SEVERE WEATHER AND LAND ROVER TECHNOLOGY

Early day motion 652, tabled 19 January 2010 by Baroness Burt of Solihull (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 37 members.

That this House recognises the contribution made to local communities of individuals who rise to the challenge posed by severe weather conditions and assist those in need; applauds the voluntary efforts of owners of Land Rovers and similarly capable vehicles who provided emergency assistance during the recent snow and ice, getting midwives and other key public sector staff to work, delivering food and medicine to vulnerable people and digging cars out of snow drifts; and pays tribute to the innovative British research, engineering and production teams that have made Land Rover and Range Rover such adaptable and capable vehicles.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Liberal Democrat 10, Conservative 8, DUP 2, Independent 1.
