§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) if he will visit(a) Queensferry fire station, Deeside and (b) Buchley fire station, Clwyd;
(2) if he will make a statement on the future of the fire service in (a) Clwyd and (b) Wales;
(3) if he will visit Clwyd county council headquarters, Mold to discuss the future of the fire service; and if he will make a statement.
