Monday 9th June 2025

Asked by: Rachel Taylor (Labour - North Warwickshire and Bedworth)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what recent estimate she has made of the cost to Fire and Rescue Authorities of implementing the Equality and Human Rights Commission's revised code of practice for services, public functions and associations.

Answered by Alex Norris - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)

The Secretary of State has not made a specific estimate of the cost to fire and rescue authorities (FRAs) of implementing the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s revised Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations.

The cost of implementation is a matter for each individual fire and rescue authority or fire and rescue service to determine, as it would be for any other public sector employer. Each authority is responsible for assessing its own operational needs, resource allocation, and compliance strategies in line with its statutory duties under the Equality Act 2010.
