'Now is the time to get on and deliver'

摘要

The Minister's obvious frustration at the lack of movement since addressing the Chief Fire Officers Association conference in 2012 -under his previous guise as Fire Minister at the Department for Communities and Local Government - spilled over from his address at the Reform think tank event into his interview with FIRE. In a no-holds-barred mood, the Minister responded frankly to FIRE's searching questions on the recent spike in fires, the role of the Fire Service College, standards and inspection, the diversity deficit and the impact of co-responding.
