FIRE SERVICE IN WALES

Early day motion 931, tabled 5 July 2000 by Martyn Jones (Labour). Signed by 25 members.

That this House urges the Government to reject the recent recommendation in the Mott MacDonald report, The Future of Fire Service Control Rooms and Communications in England and Wales, that there be a single fire service control to cover the whole of Wales on the grounds that the major geographic and demographic differences between the Welsh regions would make such a control room dangerously ineffective due to the necessity for detailed local knowledge and the vast amount of similar place names throughout Wales.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, Labour/Co-operative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
