HC Deb 01 May 1969 vol 782 c261W
25. Mr. Judd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to co-ordinate fire services throughout the country and to ensure satisfactory standards; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Co-ordination of standards is sought through Her Majesty's Inspectors of Fire Services; the work of the Central Fire Brigades Advisory Council; central training courses; and in the normal course of business between the Home Office and fire authorities. These arrangements are amongst the matters under review by the Departmental Committee on the Fire Service.
