Ambulance Dispute

EDM number 59 in 1989-90, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 23/11/1989.

That this House recognises that the ambulance workers' claim is fully justified and should be met in full; believes that the actions of the Secretary of State for Health in trying to use police and armed forces to break the dispute is a dangerous and cruel deception; further recognises that the ambulance workers are determined to maintain the 999 service and are prevented from doing this by management actions alone; and demands that the army and police be withdrawn at once so that experienced and qualified ambulance personnel can once again provide an emergency service.

This motion has been signed by a total of 69 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
