asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will indicate his support for development work on a defibrillation unit which can be carried in ambulances to reduce the mortality rate during the transit of heart attack victims, bearing in mind that this is one of the proposals of the Lucas Aerospace workers in their corporate plan.
