answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2016 answer text <p>The transfer of responsibility for fire and rescue services to either Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) or mayoral combined authorities is consistent with the Government’s broader approach to devolution. Joining up oversight of public services in this way will promote further collaboration and enable local leaders to pursue ambitious reforms that improve local services and deliver value for money.</p><p>The Government has been clear that it is for local leaders to determine how fire and rescue services are delivered in the best interests of their communities. The Government will consider any proposals to transfer responsibility for fire and rescue to a PCC or to a combined authority mayor on a case by case basis. There is no pre-determined order of preference.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 19/04/2016 14:42:58 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
