Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will take steps to establish a compensation fund for firefighters who attended the Grenfell fire and have been subsequently diagnosed with cancer.

The health and safety of firefighters is of great importance.

It is for individual fire and rescue authorities, as employers with responsibility for health and wellbeing, to ensure that firefighters receive the appropriate equipment and training they need to safely respond to the wide range of incidents which they attend.
