REGIONAL EMERGENCY FIRE CONTROL CENTRES

Early day motion 229, tabled 25 May 2005 by Andrew Dismore (Labour). Signed by 147 members.

That this House is concerned about the serious financial and service standards implications for central and local government and the Fire Service contained in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's draft Fire Control Business Case (volume 1); notes that within this report civil servants warned Ministers that there is a `high risk' of `total project failure'; further notes the Government's record on major information technology projects; and therefore calls for an independent assessment of the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister's final business case before this project proceeds further.
