§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many(a) representations and (b) complaints she has received concerning the provisions contained in the conditions of employment 15.3.2(a) for fire service personnel. [39258]
§ Mr. KirkhopeI have been asked to reply.
My right hon. and learned Friend the Home Secretary has not received any such representations or complaints. However, the National Joint Council for Local Authorities Fire Brigades, which represents fire service employers' and employees' organisations, is the body responsible for matters concerning the conditions of service of members of fire brigades.
