Labour — Liverpool Riverside

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 April 2026

Debate

Fire and Rescue Services: Funding

Contribution

I thank the hon. Member for securing this important debate. I declare an interest as the chair of the Fire Brigades Union parliamentary group. The FBU is calling for increased investment, saying that without it, cuts will kill. Does the hon. Member recognise that 14 years of austerity have led to more than 12,000 firefighter jobs being cut?
