Fire and Rescue Services: Standards
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of the governance of fire and rescue services.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
We have not undertaken an assessment of the governance of Fire and Rescue Services but recognise its importance in ensuring effective delivery of public safety outcomes.
We continue to work with Fire and Rescue Authorities, the Local Government Association and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners to seek governance improvements.
