Clause 9 - Emergencies
Fire and Rescue Services Bill
3:30 pm
Mr Philip Hammond (Runnymede and Weybridge, Conservative)
I am sure that the Minister would not want to mislead the Committee. I think that he has fallen into using the term ''resilience''. The draft order deals with not just anti-terrorism matters but issues such as major traffic accidents and flooding. Those are important emergencies, but I would not like the
Minister to shelter behind the emotionally protective wall of anti-terrorist resilience.
