Funding Of Services For Road Crash Victims
EDM number 237 in 2006-07, proposed by John Leech on 22/11/2006.
That this House notes with concern the Home Office decision to cease in 2007 funding the Brakecare Bereavement Pack, which provides advice for bereaved families and friends following a death on the road; further notes that additional resources need to be made available to fund a national helpline for road crash victims, a face-to-face support service and training for people working with road crash victims; further notes that the Victims Fund, announced on 12th January 2004, is yet to result in any funds for road crash victims; and therefore calls upon the Government to examine other options for funding services to road crash victims, including a £1 levy on vehicle insurance premiums to provide services for the victims of road crashes.
This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
