Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to reform and strengthen the fire and rescue service.
Answered by Kit Malthouse
The government’s priority is keeping the public safe. Our fire reform white paper was published last month and is open for consultation until the 26th of July.
The proposals set out will ensure that fire and rescue services are highly skilled, professionally led and governed, and able to fully support the communities they serve.
