Make air ambulances free from fuel duty and VAT on fuel

Open for signatures 66 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should remove fuel tax and VAT on fuel for the air ambulance services especially for their helicopters but for their associated land vehicles} as well
Air ambulance services throughout the country are having to rely more and more on the generosity of the British public to support their services due to the rising fuel cost caused by what is happening in the Strait of Hormuz. We believe a suspension of the fuel duty and VAT would be a great financial help and could allow more responses by the air ambulance rather than the cars that they are increasingly having to use at the moment.
