  • Shift Patterns (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 08 November 2006
    This is a very sensitive issue as well I think, but I think many of us understand that many firefighters have work outside of fire fighting, and that providing they are fit for work and able to do the job properly that should not be a problem in any shape or form. Is that an issue in relation to the shift pattern changes?

    • Question by: John Biggs
    • Meeting date: 29 January 2003
    We intend that the impact of the Bain Review, the modernisation agenda, would be very far-reaching in London.
