Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Samantha Dixon)
My hon. Friend will be aware that response standards and resource decisions are set locally by fire and rescue authorities, which understand their risks and communities best. We will continue working with Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service to support the delivery of improved services for Poole through national reform, stable funding and stronger co-ordination.
