Roger Evans AM: If you consider the 13 appliances that you are considering taking away plus the ones that were removed before, I believe the saving is around £25 million. If by some miracle you were to have £25 million returned to your budget, Commissioner, would you ideally spend it on putting those appliances back or would you have other priorities that you think would keep London safer?

James Cleverly AM MP: I am happy for either the Commissioner or the Chairman to answer this. When the traditional disposition of London’s fire stations was brought about, I suppose, with the early 20th century expansion, is it fair to say that fire and fire risk was the single biggest driving factor in the equipment disposition of fire stations and fire appliances?

Roger Evans AM: I just wanted to add my support to Jenny’s suggestion that fire prevention people might look at flood prevention as well. I wondered if there was also a role for them to do some joint working with the MPS on crime prevention because at the moment we have fire prevention people who go out and tell people largely to provide more means of exit and entrance from their properties and then crime prevention people who go around and tell them to lock them up.

The reason I chase this with you is that there have been some concerns from local residents for a considerable period but they do not seem to be getting any joy from Haringey Council...

A recent review conducted by the Government's former Chief Fire and Rescue Advisor, Sir Ken Knight, identified nearly £200 million worth of potential savings across England and Wales' 46 Fire Authorities. Given the size and complexity of the London Fire Brigade, in comparison to the brigades on which the review focused, how many of the areas highlighted in the report offer a real opportunity for cost savings in the provision of fire and rescue cover to the Capital?

The London Fire Brigade faces the same spending constraints as other public service organisations. More than £50 million of savings from support services have already been achieved but further savings must be considered in the development of the 2012 -2015 London Safety Plan 5. What are you doing to ensure that the Plan benefits from the views of firefighters and their representatives?
