§ Mr. Parkerasked the Home Secretary whether Auxiliary Fire Service men can now be given the same conditions of service and of compensation in the event of injuries on duty as regular firemen, as they are doing similar work?
§ Mr. MabaneThe pay and conditions of service of auxiliary firemen are fixed in close relation to those of Civil Defence personnel generally, and there are a good many respects in which the conditions of service of permanent fire brigade personnel would be inapplicable to volunteers for emergency service.
