§ Sir A. Bossomasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will ensure that his regulations allow firemen tradesmen, such as painters, plumbers and so forth, to carry on within 223W the fire station premises their trade activities for the benefit of the Department when not required for their fire protection duties.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerRegulations made under the Fire Services Act, 1947, do not place any legal restriction upon the performance of this kind of work by firemen. The National Joint Council for Local Authorities' Fire Brigades has, however, made recommendations to fire authorities as to the extent to which members of brigades should engage in work of this nature, and I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of these.
