Clause 59 - Wales
Fire and Rescue Services Bill
4:15 pm
Mr Phil Hope (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister; Corby, Labour/Co-operative)
In response to the hon. Member for Teignbridge, I can tell the Committee that the clause concerns powers relating to Wales and not to other regions in England. I understand that there is a new clause on which that debate may arise, and the hon. Gentleman will have the opportunity to make his points then.
On pensions, which are a reserved matter, as clause 33 makes clear, I am not certain what the hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge seeks to establish.
