Statute overview

About this statute

The provision sets rules for collaboration agreements between relevant emergency services in England, including consultation, notification, consent limits, and withdrawal rights. The chief fire and rescue inspector for England must consult the Secretary of State before certain unplanned inspections, publish inspection reports, withhold sensitive material, send reports to the Secretary of State, submit an annual report, and lay that report before Parliament. This provision requires the Commission to notify the appropriate authority and record matters when a concern is identified as a conduct matter or DSI matter, and it restricts disclosure of whistle-blower information except in limited cases. The provision lets designated police volunteers exercise some constable powers, but limits where and how they can do so, and bars firearm authorisation for designated persons. People released on bail with a travel restriction condition must comply with that condition, and breach can be an offence. The provision also defines travel document and port, and contains separate amendments on policing, detention, live links, and maritime enforcement powers.
