(asked on 3rd July 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans are in place to outsource his Department's fire and rescue services on airfields and dockyards.
This question was answered on 11th July 2017
A review determined that increased involvement of industry in Defence's fire and rescue capability would improve value for money whilst maintaining the protection of vital assets. The Ministry of Defence is currently running a single commercial competition for fire and rescue services considered suitable for delivery by industry, including HM Naval Base Clyde and a number of British Armed Forces airfields. The aim is to award a contract by early 2018.
