HC Deb 11 November 1971 vol 825 cc222-3W
75. Mr. Stanbrook

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the support given to the day-manning system for fire stations by the Report of the Departmental Committee on the Fire Service, he will inquire into the reasons for the abolition of the system at Biggin Hill Fire Station.

Mr. Sharples

Since no reduction in the standard of fire cover is proposed, my right hon. Friend has no power to intervene.
