A question I have for you, however, is for the first time there is a requirement for developers to consider installing lifts in developments below four storeys. The Planning Committee had some concerns around that initially and we sought some clarification around this policy.

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.
