Clause 33 - Pensions etc
Fire and Rescue Services Bill

Mr David Drew (Stroud, Labour/Co-operative)
What the hon. Member for Teignbridge said is correct, and I totally agree with him. I have known a couple of occasions where the widow of a firefighter wished to get married again, in one case to another firefighter, and it was financially punitive to do so. We need to consider that. That disadvantage seemed to be unique to the fire service.
