Further JR proceedings have now become redundant in light of current developments. <br></p><p>It is disappointing that lengthy legal action by the FRAs in West Mercia has meant that we have not yet been able to implement a transfer of governance that we considered to be in the interest of the local community.</p><p> </p><p>We remain strongly committed to supporting PCCs to take on fire governance where a case exists, and I look forward to reviewing any updated proposal the newly elected PCC may decide to bring forward after the elections. We will be working with the sector in the meantime to consider the lessons learned from this process.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 08/07/2020 09:10:46 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
