Fire and Rescue Services: Berkshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the current availability of fire appliances in (a) Slough and (b) Berkshire.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
It is the responsibility of each fire and rescue authority to determine how to allocate funding based on its analysis of risk and local circumstances, including the availability of fire appliances. Decisions on future local authority funding will be a matter for the next Spending Review and Local Government Finance Settlement.
