HC Deb 20 February 1957 vol 565 cc425-6
36. Mr. Sorensen

asked the Minister of Defence, in view of increasing reliance on nuclear fission weapons for the purpose of offence and retaliation in the eventuality of war, what further revision of civil defence is being undertaken; and what directives or advice he has caused to be conveyed to the Civil Defence organisation arising from his defence plans.

Mr. Sandys

I hope to deal with these matters in the forthcoming White Paper on Defence.

Mr. Sorensen

Will all the points which I put in my Question be dealt with by the Minister?

Mr. Sandys

The White Paper is not yet written. I have expressed hopes that they may be dealt with.
