§ Mr. LangI have not yet had the opportunity of meeting representatives of the Fire Services National Benevolent Fund in Scotland. Other commitments have regrettably prevented me from accepting invitations to the 50th anniversary commemorative service in Stirling and the fund's golden jubilee reception at the Guildhall, London to celebrate fifty years of charitable endeavour in support of retired and serving members of the United Kingdom fire services.
