Emergency Services Network
(asked on 27th October 2017) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the length of time for which Airwave and the emergency services network will run in parallel.
This question was answered on 2nd November 2017
The Government is very clear that there will be no risks with public safety and there will be no gap in the emergency services’ communications provision.
It will ultimately be for the emergency services themselves to confirm they are content with the new ESN service and the existing Airwave system will continue until transition is complete. Greater clarity on the date ESN will be available is expected by the end of the year.
