Modern Role Of Emergency Services

EDM number 1861 in 2002-03, proposed by Mike Wood on 04/11/2003.

That this House recognises the need for the law to reflect the modern nature and varied role of our emergency and public service drivers; and urges the Government to update the necessary legislation to prevent a repeat of the case of Mr Mike Ferguson, where an NHS ambulance driver with 36 years' unblemished service was charged with speeding while transporting a liver from donor to patient.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs.
