HC Deb 05 August 1976 vol 916 c1021W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether any cost to the funds of the National Health Service has arisen from the conveyance of sick Members of Parliament by ambulance to the Palace of Westminster to vote.

Dr. Owen

In these circumstances I would expect health authorities to recoup the cost of such journeys from Members of Parliament, so that no cost falls on the National Health Service.
