Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Steve Rotheram (Labour), on Monday, 26 March 2012, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 25 members in total.


FIRE AND RESCUE SERVICES

That this House praises the excellent work of Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service; notes the concern of Merseyside and other metropolitan fire authorities that planned cuts incentral Government grants are unsustainable and would lead to life-threatening reductions in fire cover and national resilience capacity, particularly to deal with terrorism, flooding and events arising from climatic change; further notes that Merseyside Fire Authority has already made significant efficiency savings; and believes the critical role played by the Fire Service in Merseyside must not be undermined by the level of cuts to grants currently planned by the Government.
