Let G be a pro-p group of finite cohomological dimension and type FP
and T be a finite p-group of automorphisms of G. We prove that the group of fixed points of T in G is again a pro-p group of type FP
(in particular it is finitely presented). Moreover, we prove that a pro-p group G of type FP
and finite virtual cohomological dimension has finitely many conjugacy classes of finite subgroups.
