Clause 33 - Pensions etc
Fire and Rescue Services Bill
9:45 am
Mr Phil Hope (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister; Corby, Labour/Co-operative)
I am grateful to my hon. Friend. As I say, we will endeavour to see what the issues and anomalies are in the current scheme so that we do not create undesirable anomalies in future schemes.
The clause also deals with matters to do with invoking, varying or revoking a scheme, with issues of consultation and with issues of persons committing offences. We have covered those in debates on amendments. I hope that, given those remarks, hon. Members will agree that the clause should stand part of the Bill.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 33, as amended, ordered to stand part of the Bill.
