Part of Opposition Day — [7th Allotted Day] – in the House of Commons at 7:15 pm on 10 March 2009.
I am afraid that the hon. Gentleman has neglected to read the motion that I have just moved, which
"further notes that the loss of the opt-out and the distinction between active and inactive on-call time would also be deeply damaging to British business and other public services such as those provided by retained fire-fighters".
We did raise that matter, but if the hon. Gentleman wants to make a point later about retained firefighters I am sure that my colleagues would welcome it.
