Air Ambulance needs our help
To sign the petition please put the link below in your browser

The Air Ambulance Service is forced to meet rising fuel prices year on year including VAT.
The Air Ambulance Service have saved successive governments millions and millions of pounds funded by charitable donations given by the general public to run what has proven to be an essential service.
Whilst the Lifeboat Service has been exempt from VAT on fuel costs since 1977 a similar privelege has not been afforded to the Air Ambulance Service.
We call on the government to have an urgent review of this situation and in doing so we call on the government to return in the form of grants to Air Ambulance Service providers all the future VAT which the treasury collects from them so that the Air Ambulance Service is in practise exempt from paying VAT in the same way as the Lifeboat Service.
I was there many times a few years ago, returned in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. SUPPORT THE MGP
