Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 3 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Emergency Workers (Protection) Bill.


Emergency Workers (Protection) Bill

When fire service personnel are injured as a result of an attack, that has a career-threatening effect on them because they need to have a high level of fitness and ability. Once that is lowered, it often means the end of their career in that service, as well as possibly reducing their opportunities for further employment; and they could be very long way from retirement age.
