Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 16 November 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government when he expects the Eastern Region fire control centre to be operational.
holding answer
The East of England control centre would not become operational until after mid-2011 on current timetables. It is not one of the first three control centres in which the IT system is required to be completed by the main FiReControl contractor EADS (now branded Cassidian) for that date.
I refer my hon. Friend to the answer given to my hon. Friend Christopher Pincher on
The FiReControl project, initiated by the last Government, is over budget and behind schedule. As with all major Government projects, it is being reviewed to ensure value for money for the taxpayer. We have been clear that EADS must deliver to time, cost and quality. The new Government are committed to ensuring value for money for the taxpayer, improving resilience and stopping the forced regionalisation of the fire service.
