Motion Text

That this House pay tribute to fire fighters throughout the UK for their work during the recent floods, but is concerned at reports that many fire authorities are under-equipped due to a lack of funds available for flood rescue work; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to make all fire authorities separate precepting bodies to ensure that sufficient funding can be directed to particular areas of local need.
