Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will publish the general (a) minimum fitness standard and (b) at risk standard where firefighters are allowed to continue on operational duties for a limited period while they undergo remedial fitness in respect of each fire and rescue service in England.
There is no national fitness standard for firefighters in England. It is the responsibility of individual fire and rescue authorities to put in place appropriate fitness standards for their employees.
