Michael Fabricant’s question to the Prime Minister today (Question 4)
has been ‘pulled’ due to the House being Prorogued (suspended) prior to
the State Opening of Parliament by Her Majesty the Queen next week. The
Question on the House of Commons Order Paper reads: "To ask the Prime
Minister if he will make a statement on the future of the Staffordshire
Ambulance Service and their community first responders". Tony Blair
would have responded and then Michael would have been able to ask a
further question.

Michael says: "I would have asked why crucial heart and asthma drugs in
use by community first responders in other parts of the country have
been suddenly withdrawn in Staffordshire on the false grounds that their
use is in breach of the Medicines Act. I would then have asked the
Prime Minister to meet a small delegation of Community First Responders
from Staffordshire.

"Although I am a keen royalist, it’s a shame that the Queen’s State
Opening of Parliament and the preceding prorogation has prevented me
from asking this. I don’t suspect a plot. But I will try to make these
points later in the year."
