Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many fatalities resulting from fire there were in Yorkshire and the Humber in each year since 2010.

The Home Office does not publish fire statistics by government office regions but by Fire and Rescue Authority (FRA) regions.

Published figures for fire-related fatalities by FRA can be found in table FIRE0502 here:
