FIREFIGHTERS INDUSTRIAL ACTION

Motion Text

That this House is not prepared to accept the reduction in fire safety that will inevitably result from further industrial action or inappropriate reductions in fire cover; and calls upon both the Government and the Fire Brigades union to draw a line under the past and engage in sensible negotiations in a spirit of goodwill and compromise in order to achieve a reasonable agreement on pay and an agreed platform from which a well informed, effective modernisation can take place so that the country can look forward to better protection and the reduction of injury and death.
