asked Her Majesty's Government:

When the independent review of the fire service will be completed. [HL715]

Lord Rooker

The independent review of the fire service was announced on 12 September 2002 under the chairmanship of Sir George Bain. The review considered UK-wide arrangements for the future organisation and management of the fire service. My right honourable friend the Deputy Prime Minister has today placed copies of the final report in the Vote and Printed Paper Offices and Libraries of the House.
