Fire And Rescue Authority Budgets

Conference notes with interest a number of national reports and ministers parliamentary answers which records significant savings made by fire and rescue authorities over the last number of years. Conference further notes that some of the same fire and rescue authorities then seek to make significant staffing cuts due to so called budgetary constraints in those particular authorities. Conference therefore demands that the Executive Council compiles a report detailing savings made by individual fire and rescue authorities in the last 5 years, including budget shortfalls declared by the same authorities along with associated staffing and/or service cuts proposed or achieved; such a report to be ready for FBU Annual Conference 2011.
