Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many fire inspections have been carried out by fire and rescue services in the UK in each of the last five years.

Fire is a devolved matter so the Home Office only holds data for England. Data on the number of fire safety audits undertaken by fire and rescue services (FRSs) in England are published in fire statistics data table FIRE1202 which accompanied the “Fire prevention and protections statistics, England, April 2017 to March 2018” release, available here:
