CUTS TO THE FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICE
Early day motion 1216, tabled 24 March 2014 by Baroness Hoey (Labour). Signed by 73 members.
That this House recognises that cuts to the Fire and Rescue Service put the public at risk; is concerned at the detrimental impact upon 999 response times; notes that the Fire and Rescue Service costs less than £1 per week per adult, which represents exceptional value for money; and calls on the Government to halt any further cuts and ensure sustained investment for the Fire and Rescue Service.
