The Government has recently consulted on proposals intended to enable greater emergency services collaboration. This includes proposals to enable Police and Crime Commissioners, where this is local support, to take responsibility for fire and rescue services in their area.
The consultation closed on 23 October and the Government is currently considering the responses received.
