Business of the House

Can we have a debate on the fire service? The Government are closing down fire stations in the townships and opening new ones way out of the townships. That is what is happening in my constituency. Only last night there was a big fire in Blyth, where unfortunately someone lost their life, and the fire engine had to be called from another town because of another fire in a factory. The Government seem to be getting away with murder by not debating this issue on the Floor of the House.
