HC Deb 09 December 1964 vol 703 c1546
34. Lady Tweedsmuir

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will make a statement on the results of the Civil Defence recruiting campaign to date.

Mr. Willis

During the third quarter of this year, when the campaign was at its height, 1,284 persons joined the Civil Defence services in Scotland, compared with 1,005 during the comparable period last year. Figures for October onwards are not yet available.

Lady Tweedsmuir

What does the Minister intend to do about future recruiting campaigns for Civil Defence in order to try to get these figures?

Mr. Willis

This matter has to be considered. It has not been considered yet.
