Ministry Of Defence Fire Service
EDM number 918 in 2003-04, proposed by John Grogan on 25/03/2004.
That this House notes that a decision by the Ministry of Defence is imminent on whether to privatise the Defence Fire Service as part of the Airfield Support Services Project; commends the sterling work of the Defence Fire Service whilst serving the armed forces of this country in hostile theatres of operation abroad such as Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and most recently Iraq; regards the service as very much part of the core support which is crucial to the effectiveness of our armed forces; notes that the Fire Study 2000 review has detailed cost savings of 20 per cent. which can be made in-house without proceeding with privatisation; and calls upon the Secretary of State for Defence to reject any plans to privatise the Defence Fire Service.
This motion has been signed by a total of 84 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
