EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order revokes the Fire and Rescue Authorities (Performance Indicators) (Wales) Order 2011 (S.I. 2011/558 (W. 80)) and specifies for Wales a new set of statutory performance indicators, by reference to which the performance of fire and rescue authorities in exercising their functions will be measured. The Order will have effect from 1 April 2015.

Article 2 of this Order specifies that the performance indicators are set out in the Schedule to this Order.

The Welsh Ministers’ Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to this Order. As a result it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with this Order.
