Fire and Rescue Services: Maternity Pay

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of maternity pay in fire and rescue services.

Answer

Setting fire pay and conditions, including setting a minimum national maternity entitlement, is the responsibility of employers and representative bodies, working through the National Joint Council.

The Government plays no role in setting firefighter pay.

I meet regularly with the Fire Brigades Union to discuss issues of mutual interest and concern.
