Cabinet Office written question – answered at on 9 March 2010.
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office whether the proposed new duty to tackle socio-economic inequalities in the Equality Bill is to apply to all local authorities and fire authorities.
The duty will apply to local authorities, and to fire and rescue authorities (FRAs) where these form part of a local authority. We are discussing with the fire and rescue service and other appropriate stakeholders whether the duty should in due course be extended to all FRAs.
