    Does the workforce of the London Fire Brigade reflect London's population and its diversity?
  • Commissioner Recruitment

    • Reference: 2016/2841
    • Question by: Gareth Bacon MP
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2016
    Why were proposals to recruit an interim Commissioner put to the recent meeting of LFEPA's Appointments & Urgency Committee, instead of a proposal to extend the present Commissioner's contract whilst also recruiting a permanent successor?
  • Major incidents and potential use of taxis

    • Reference: 2016/2838
    • Question by: Caroline Russell
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2016
    A constituent has contacted me regarding the feasibility of using taxis to transport "walking wounded" casualties to A&E and minor injury departments in the event of a major incident. Is this an option that the London Fire Bridge has considered in its emergency planning?

    What progress has been made by the London Fire Brigade in rolling out instant response vehicles?
  • Challenges for the London Fire Brigade (Supplementary) [2]

    • Question by: Andrew Boff
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2016
    Could you just run over it for me - because I thought I had the figures and I did not quite believe them and so I must have misheard - the comparison between the number of incidents between 2007 and 2016 and the number of deaths in fires between 2007 and 2016 and the first attendance response times again? Could you just run over those with me again?
  • Commissioner Recruitment (Supplementary) [3]

    • Question by: Lord Bailey of Paddington
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2016
    I have a question to pick up on my colleague’s point. It strikes me that this recruitment process will limit the people who can be recruited. If you are a senior fire person elsewhere and take this interim role, you will not be able to leave the role you are in. Correct me if I am wrong - and I am prepared to be wrong - but would you not have to convince your own fire authority to loan you to us?
  • Commissioner Recruitment (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Tony Devenish
    • Meeting date: 07 September 2016
    I do echo my colleague’s point. In terms of continuity of personnel, would you not agree with me that when you have senior people doing a job and being accountable, continuity over a period of time is absolutely essential?
