Clause 43 - Powers of fire-fighters etc in an emergency etc
Fire and Rescue Services Bill
2:30 pm
Mr John Pugh (Education Spokesperson, Education & Skills; Southport, Liberal Democrat)
No, that is not the logic of my position. I am endeavouring to argue that there is not automatically a case for intervention by the fire services if there is not actually a fire, but that some circumstances are sufficiently troubling for a fire service to want to do something before a blaze starts. That is why I support the amendment. I simply ask the Minister why prevention is not incorporated in the clause.
