HC Deb 26 October 1950 vol 478 c382W
5. Mr. Arbuthnot

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the recommendations of the Oaksey Report have not been made applicable to the Fire Service, which has until recently enjoyed rates of pay on the same scale as the police.

Mr. de Freitas

The present rates of pay of the Fire Service were determined on the recommendation of the National Joint Council for Local Authorities' Fire Brigades in England and Wales, following an award of the Industrial Court.
