Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to bring all blue light services under the remit of Police and Crime Commissioners.
The locally enabling provisions within the Policing and Crime Act 2017 allow Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to take on fire and rescue governance, where a local case is made.
Four PCCs have so far taken on responsibility for fire governance.
There are currently no plans to give PCCs responsibility for further blue light services.
