Mountain Rescue Teams In England And Wales (EDM278)

Mountain Rescue Teams In England And Wales

EDM number 278 in 2009-10, proposed by Timothy Farron on 30/11/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Emergency services and Taxation.

That this House pays tribute to the outstanding work done by mountain rescue teams during the recent floods in Cumbria; acknowledges the dedication and skills of mountain rescue volunteers; is appalled that mountain rescue teams have to pay value added tax and vehicle excise duty on life-saving equipment; notes that these taxes cost the volunteer mountain rescue teams up to £200,000 a year; further notes that other emergency services do not have to pay taxes on equivalent equipment; is concerned that the Government has not yet announced an intention to exempt mountain rescue teams from these taxes despite indications from the European Commission that the UK could well be permitted to do so; and calls on the Government to announce such an exemption immediately.

This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
