Answer

I am advised that this is not part of Fire and Emergency’s standard reporting, and they are unable to provide this information in the timeframe required to respond to a written parliamentary question. In accordance with the Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and therefore the expense of undertaking this exercise is such that providing an answer to the Member’s question is not in the public interest. The Member may wish to seek this information by way of a request under the Official Information Act 1982.
