Fireworks: Fire and Rescue Services

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what steps the Government is taking to provide adequate fire service on bonfire night.

Answer

The Government is grateful to all firefighters who continually demonstrate their commitment to protecting their communities, particularly at this busy time of year.
