50th Anniversary Of National Health Service Act 1946

EDM number 144 in 1996-97, proposed by Tessa Jowell on 05/11/1996.

That this House celebrates 6th November 1996 as the 50th Anniversary of the passing into law of the National Health Service Act 1946, not only as the foundation stone of the National Health Service, not only as personal memorial to the vision, socialist principles, far-sightedness and statesmanship of Aneurin Bevan, but also as the finest working example of the principle of public provision of an essential service vital to a civilised society; and calls on the present Government, in spite of its predecessors having voted against the Act's Second and Third Readings, to avoid any further damage to the National Health Service pending the General Election.

This motion has been signed by a total of 147 MPs.
