§ Mr. Brothertonasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps have been taken to repair "green goddesses" since the firemen's strike; and what is the total number of firefighting appliances at the disposal of the armed forces now compared with the end of that strike.
§ Dr. SummerskillI refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to a Question by him on 2nd February. The programme for servicing and refurbishing the "green goddesses" is well in hand. A similar number of appliances to that deployed during the strike would be available for use in any future emergency.—[Vol. 943, c. 281.]
