HC Deb 08 December 1983 vol 50 cc205-6W
Mr. Dubs

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the special organisational arrangements for the London fire brigade specified in section 2.19 of the White Paper, "Streamlining the Cities".

Mr. Mellor

The White Paper does not specify that there should be organisational change. Rather, it raised the question whether, in view of the size of the London fire brigade, special internal organisational arrangements may be necessary under a joint board. It follows that the Government will consider this matter further in the light of responses to the White Paper.
