Activists call on Hands to remove NHS from TTIP
HUNDREDS of mock For Sale signs appeared outside London homes in Chelsea and Fulham yesterday in an effort to stop an international trade deal tampering with public services.
Over 1,900 residents signed a petition to remove references to the NHS from negotiations between the US and EU on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
Campaigners focused on the constituency of Treasury Secretary Greg Hands in the hope that the MP would press Prime Minister David Cameron to veto the NHS’s inclusion in the deal.
