Mr Edward O'Hara (Knowsley South, Labour)
With this it will be convenient to discuss amendment No. 150, in
clause 31, page 13, line 39, at end insert—
'(1A) the Secretary of State may only make regulations under subsection (1) if he has secured the agreement of the Scottish Executive and the Welsh Assembly to collaborate in a scheme, the effect of which is that the bodies created under subsection (1) will also have the function of negotiating the conditions of service of employees of fire and rescue authorities in Wales and of fire authorities in Scotland.'.
