The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many times she has met with West Midlands Fire Service Chief Fire Officer between July 2024 and April 2025.

Answered by Alex Norris

I am responding as the Minister now with responsibility for Fire. I can confirm that to my knowledge the Secretary of State for the Home Department did not meet with the West Midlands Fire Service Chief Fire Officer during that period. The Home Secretary decided to commission a Best value Inspection of the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service. Any further announcements will be made on this in due course.
