Questions to the Mayor of London – answered at on 17 January 2020.
The Mayer review recommended that no further reduction to the London Fire Brigade’s funding be made, following the previous Mayor’s cuts programme. Do you still hold by this recommendation?
Yes. However, the HMICFRS inspection report made clear that the London Fire Brigade (LFB) needs to make more effective use of the resources available to it. I will be working with the new Commissioner, Andy Roe, to ensure that the Brigade addresses, this alongside all other recommendations from both the HMICFRS report and the Grenfell Tower Inquiry phase 1 report.
