Mr. Arthur Lewis
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he has not paid any visits to fire stations and whether he will do so forthwith.
Mr. Merlyn Rees
No useful purpose would be served by visits to fire stations at the present time. I have met the Executive Council of the Fire Brigades Union and groups of firemen from the West Yorkshire, London and Kent brigades during recent visits to local areas.
