Clause 3 - Creation of combined fire and rescue authorities: supplementary
Fire and Rescue Services Bill

Mr Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Cotswold, Conservative)
The Minister is creating the chimera of the resilience issue in order to create a new, unnecessary structure to resolve it. There has been no greater fire emergency than the fire at Windsor castle. Fire authorities from as far away as south Dorset backed each other up, and the whole operation worked perfectly. If an operation of that size can work so well, why do we need these new structures?
