@strathernrose Don't let this happen in Scotland

A former UK fire minister has warned of flaws in proposed UK legislation which may mean fire and rescue services can charge for fire prevention work.

Baroness Angela Smith raised her concerns during the second reading of the Localism Bill in the House of Lords on Tuesday. She said that while the Bill made it clear that ‘core services’ could not be charged for, and that it listed areas that could not be charged, there were some grey areas that needed clarification.

I hope we don't go down this route in Scotland. How can a Fire Authority offer to carry out Fire Risk Assessments for money and then Audit those same Assessments. Morally and professionally wrong.
