Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department is taking steps to support firefighters who have incurred (a) cancer and (b) other health problems following their attendance at the Grenfell tower fire.

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.
