Proceeding contribution from Mark Prisk (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 November 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Fire Services (Hertfordshire).


Fire Services (Hertfordshire)

My hon. Friend has rightly mentioned the absence of a national operational guide, but representations from my firefighters in Hertford have brought to my attention the point that basic operational training—the thing that they need for their safety—comes second to other matters, such as long-term contingency planning. Given the tragic deaths in the county and nationally, does she share my fear that that set of priorities is wrong—particularly for firefighters themselves?
