The Fire and Rescue Authority (Membership) Order 2017

Status:

This is the original version (as it was originally made).

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order makes amendments in relation to the membership of the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority, the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority and the Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority.

Article 2 amends Schedule 10 to the Local Government Act 1985 to reduce the number of members to be appointed to the West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority by each of its constituent councils.

Article 3 and Schedule 1 amend the Hampshire Fire Services Combination Scheme set out in the Schedule to the Hampshire Fire Services (Combination Scheme) Order 1996 in particular to make provision enabling the Hampshire Fire and Rescue Authority to appoint a police and crime commissioner whose police area wholly or partly coincides with the area of the Authority, as a member of the Authority. This reflects the provision made in section 7 of the Policing and Crime Act 2017 (c. 3) enabling police and crime commissioners to be represented on all types of fire and rescue authority.

Article 4 and Schedule 2 amend the Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority (Combination Scheme) Order 2015 to reduce the maximum number of members of that Authority from 30 to 18.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no significant impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
