  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nSection 21 of the Fire and Rescue Services Act 2004 requires the Secretary of State to prepare a Fire and Rescue National Framework setting out the priorities and objectives for fire and rescue authorities and providing guidance. Fire and rescue authorities must have regard to the Framework in carrying out their functions.\nArticle 2 of this Order, which applies in relation to fire and rescue authorities in England only, substitutes the 2006/08 Framework for the 2005/06 Framework. The 2006/08 Framework will have effect from 10th May 2006. The 2005/06 Framework was given effect by S.I. 2004/3217.\nThe principal differences are:\namendments refer to the financial year 2006/07. For example, Chapter 7 contains information concerning the Revenue Support Grant that fire and rescue authorities will receive for 2006/07.\nchanges reflecting progress since the 2005/6 National Framework. For example, the new Children and Young People’s Strategy 2006-2010 is to be published in the third or fourth quarter of 2006, changes to the role of Regional Management Boards, the new arrangements for fire-fighter selection from September 2007 and the new Learning and Development Strategy published in November 2005.\nchanges that take account of comments received in response to consultation. For example, more detail on the process that will follow the Fire and Rescue Comprehensive Performance Assessment, and an updated position on the coming into force of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.\nCopies of the 2006/08 Framework may be obtained from ODPM Free Literature, PO Box 236, Wetherby, West Yorkshire LS23 7NB (telephone: 0870 1226 236; fax: 0870 1226 237; email: odpm@twoten.press.net ). It is also available on the ODPM website: www.odpm.gov.uk/fire.\nA full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no direct impact on the costs of business, voluntary bodies or the public sector. An assessment was prepared for the relevant constituents of the Framework which did have such an impact.",
