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

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, pursuant to the answer of 8 September 2026 to question 23339 on Fire and Rescue Services, what elements from the New Dimensions 2 programme to uplift and replace National Resilience assets will be allocated to Cambridgeshire.

The New Dimensions 2 programme is a comprehensive capital asset replacement programme to review, refresh and upgrade the National Resilience assets used by fire and rescue authorities in response to the largest and most complex incidents.

As part of the programme, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government is replacing and updating the assets for the High Volume Pumping (HVP) capability, which is used in the response to wide-area flooding and large-scale fires.

Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service currently host an HVP capability and, accordingly, will be receiving a range of new vehicles and equipment which will replace and upgrade their current assets.
