HC Deb 22 May 1952 vol 501 c657
29. Mr. Cole

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in the interests of publicity and recruiting for Civil Defence, he will consider with the authorities concerned the establishment of the same night each week over the whole country for Civil Defence training and recruiting with a view to that night becoming popularly known as "Civil Defence Night"; and, if this is not practicable, whether it can be considered on a regional basis.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

Training classes are normally held on several nights in the week to suit the convenience of volunteers and to make the best use of the available training facilities. It would not be practicable to adopt my hon. Friend's suggestion, even on a regional basis.
