Mayor's fire authority power grab must be blocked
Caroline Pidgeon AM, Leader of the Liberal Democrat London Assembly Group, commenting on the Mayor’s proposals to try to secure changes to the composition of the London Fire Authority by reducing its composition of elected London Assembly Members and borough councillors and to increase the number of Mayoral appointees, said:
“These proposals are nothing less than a power grab from the Mayor.
“The Mayor’s record of abusing his existing powers to appoint people to the London Fire Authority has been bad enough.
