Pathfinder Report (Hansard, 7 January 2003)

To ask the Deputy Prime Minister when the Central Fire Brigades Advisory Council will consider the Pathfinder report. [88244]

§ Mr. Raynsford
The Fire Cover Review Task Group agreed the text of its final report at the end of September 2002. The Central Fire Brigades Advisory Council was due to consider the report in the autumn, but no meetings were held because of the on-going pay dispute. The Central Fire Brigades Advisory Council is therefore due to consider the report at a future meeting.
