What representations has the Chairman made to the Mayor about the use of LFEPA's large financial reserves?

• Question by: Mike Tuffrey
• Meeting date: 07 September 2011

Can I echo James Cleverly's remarks from our side in terms of the support and praise to the whole service during the course of the recent events. Chair, if I can deal with that aspect first - the first part of James' [Cleverly] question - then move on to mine specifically in a moment. The Chairman referred to the Enfield Sony depot fire, but can I ask the Commissioner, given the references in the previous questioning - that I know you heard - to the fires in Tottenham and in Croydon on Monday night and the iconic image of fires...

During your periods in post as Chair and Commissioner respectively, will any London fire station be permanently closed or have its opening hours restricted?

I want to return to the question of closures when we get to my question. I want, here, to focus on this question of budgetary matters. Firstly, could I ask the Commissioner to confirm the advice given in the finance paper on Monday that, on the level of reserves, the exposure for medium and high risk are assessed at a minimum level of £10.9 million? So a figure of £10 million or £11 million is the officer advice about the minimum level of reserves?

What one improvement do you expect to see in London's Fire and Emergency Planning Service by May 1st 2010?

I wanted to pick up on the issue of the budget and ask the Chairman, will you be proposing to the Mayor another rise in LFEPA's take on the precept this year?

OK. I want to go back, Commissioner, to the point about fire safety and fires in London, which you mentioned there. The latest performance figures clearly show that the number of serious fires have been rising over the last year across the capital; we have seen an increase in fires in dwellings by around 7% and an increase in non-domestic fires around 17% which is concerning, given the trends previously. We are now seeing it reversed. What changes are you going to make to respond to this worrying trend?

Why have you offered up more savings for the financial year 2009/10 than the Mayor was seeking in his budget guidance issued earlier this Autumn?

• Question by: Mike Tuffrey
• Meeting date: 03 December 2008

I am tempted to ask, in keeping with the Lynne Featherstone callout question, which budget paid for the 21 gun salute that greeted your attendance here this morning that we were enjoying while you were going on! The serious point, Chairman, is that - as you yourself said - there is no one party with overall control of the Authority and, therefore, these important matters of financing of the emergency services should be a matter of proper discussion and dialogue between the parties. You have made it clear that you personally do not want to follow the Mayor's guidance, which...
