Clause 41 - Fire hydrants
Fire and Rescue Services Bill
10:30 am
Mr John Pugh (Education Spokesperson, Education & Skills; Southport, Liberal Democrat)
The hon. Gentleman is far more observant than I am, and has no doubt looked at fire hydrants across the land. I think that there is a possibility of their not being placed in an appropriate place; in fact, some are not. There is sensitive consultation in most places, but there does not seem to be any requirement for sensible consultation. We are merely asking for such a requirement in the Bill.
