Arson
- Question
- To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many dogs are used by each fire authority in England and Wales to detect arson; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
One of the most powerful deterrents in the fight against arson is the fear of detection. The Fire Investigation Dog team can therefore play a significant role by helping the police and fire and rescue services to identify the cause, development and spread of fire and by detecting the presence of accelerants.Statistics concerning the numbers of fire investigation dogs in England and Wales are not held centrally, and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
