§ SIR W. J. COLLINS (St. Pancras, W.)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state what action the Home Office has taken, and proposes to take, in reference to the application of the London County Council for statutory powers to establish, or aid in establishing, an efficient and rapid ambulance service in London for dealing with cases of accident and sudden illness in the streets and public places.
§ MR. GLADSTONEI have been making inquiry as to ambulance service in London and elsewhere, and I think it would be well if a conference were held at the Home Office between the parties mainly interested for the purpose of informal discussion, and I hope the hon. Member may be able to take part in the 1358 conference. Possibly it may be desirable to appoint a small Committee to take evidence and report.
