It's a good idea,but would require an act of congress Edit: Or relevant funding institution for the UK

If you say "Act of Congress" in the UK everyone will either not know what you are talking about or assume you are referring to the USA.

In the U.K. there is already a Bill in Parliament, very likely to become an Act by Thursday.

Emergency volunteers are sections 8 and 9, and a bunch of stuff in the schedules.
