London Fire Brigade

Anne Clarke AM moved, and Susan Hall AM seconded the following motion:

“This Assembly welcomes the publication of the London Fire Brigade’s Independent Culture Review, commissioned by London Fire Brigade Commissioner Andy Roe and would like to thank Nazir Afzal OBE for his hard work on this troubling issue.

This Assembly finds the institutional misogyny, racism and discrimination highlighted in the report abhorrent.

The Assembly therefore calls on the Mayor, Deputy Mayor for Fire and Resilience and London Fire Commissioner to urgently implement the recommendations of the report in order to not only, rebuild the public’s trust in London’s Fire Brigade but to restore the trust of fire personnel so that firefighters and staff can feel safe and thrive at work.”

Following debate and upon being put to a vote, the motion was agreed unanimously.
