Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will make an assessment of the feasibility of establishing an event to mark the contribution that the emergency services make to communities and to thank them for the work they do during times of crisis.

We recognise the important contribution made by our emergency services to their communities. Their hard work and commitment to public service is celebrated the country over in local community events and also nationally.
