No tax or national insurance on overtime for emergency service workers

What the petition asks
Members of the emergency services may regularly work overtime and sometimes do not have the choice but to work it because it may be an aid requirement or jobs may run over. We think that any overtime worked should not be taxed or subject to national insurance
I would like this because it could allow hard working emergency service workers to be in a better situation financially. I think this change would also encourage more overtime worked leading to more resources on the streets as it would be more financially attractive and worth their time to do. I think more resources on the streets creates safer streets. Amongst other benefits.
