HC Deb 12 April 1951 vol 486 cc1184-5
57. Mr. Sidney Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that the absence of the necessary training manuals is holding up specialised sectional training courses in many civil defence centres; and when these manuals are likely to be available.

Mr. de Freitas

A provisional syllabus and notes on section training were issued last November. Detailed pamphlets are being completed as quickly as possible. The ambulance section pamphlet has already been issued, and those on the welfare and warden sections will be available soon.

Mr. Marshall

Can the Minister say what he means by "soon"?

Mr. de Freitas

I should not like to say precisely. I hope this will be out within the next month.
