HC Deb 06 February 1958 vol 581 cc1325-6
39. Sir W. Anstruther-Gray

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department to what extent the building of new civil defence headquarters qualifies for grant from his Department; and how far such expenditure is being curtailed on grounds of financial stringency.

Miss Hornsby-Smith

The building of local authority civil defence training headquarters qualifies for grant at the rate of 75 per cent. Local authorities have been told that they should include in their programmes for the next financial year only those projects which cannot be postponed without serious harm to the civil defence organisation.
