Firefighters from every brigade in the South West joined colleagues from across the UK in Parliament - lobbying MPs and demanding pension justice. After an unprecedented debate and vote in the Commons, with many Firefighters watching from the public gallery, the ConDem Government voted through unsustainable and unfair cuts to Firefighter pensions by 313 votes to 261.
Please find below the voting results from the MPs within our Region. All MPs had been lobbied in person or had been written to.
