Proceeding contribution from David Anderson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 14 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Emergency Workers (Obstruction) Bill.


Emergency Workers (Obstruction) Bill

The experience that my hon. Friend describes is seen in my constituency, too. The community in the old mining village of Chopwell was being destroyed by drugs and lack of investment. The retained service there has a young firefighters club where young people go to work with the fire brigade. They learn how to respect their homes and each other. The service also holds open days and public days, so it is a real community initiative.
