41. Mr. J. P. W. Mallalieu

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is now in a position to say whether the recommendations of the National Joint Council on Fire Service pay and conditions will be implemented.

Major Lloyd-George

Regulations giving effect to the main recommendations relating to the basic pay of the Fire Service came into force on 18th March. I have to-day made a supplementary Regulation giving effect to the one remaining recommendation on pay, about which I had asked the National Joint Council to supply me with further information. I have the recommendations on hours of duty under consideration, in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland.
