Arson: North East
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what support is available for communities in the North East experiencing repeated incidents of arson.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Government is committed to tackling and preventing arson. We know the serious impact that arson can have on both individuals and the wider community.
We are committed to ensuring fire services have the resources they need to do their vital work and to keep the public safe from fires, including those caused by arson. Decisions on how their resources are best deployed to meet their core functions are a matter for each fire and rescue authority.
