<p>The Policing and Crime Act (2017) provides for PCCs to take on responsibility for
the governance of fire and rescue services in their area, where a local case is made
and it appears to the Secretary of State to be in the interests of economy, efficiency
and effectiveness or public safety to give effect to the proposal.</p><p>The Home
Secretary will respond shortly to a recommendation from the Police Reform and Transformation
Board that grant funding be provided to up to 10 PCCs, including Gloucestershire,
to support the development of proposals relating to future fire and rescue governance.</p>
