§ 2. Mr. Gerald Bowdenasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what improvements he has introduced for co-ordinating arrangements for all civil defence planning in Government Departments.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggPlanning is now co-ordinated within the framework of a national integrated plan for improving civil defence preparedness.
§ Mr. BowdenI am encouraged by my hon. Friend's reply. When will the Civil Service committee report on coordination between Government Departments be published?
§ Mr. HoggWe are expecting an interim report to be received by Ministers in the fairly near future, but we have no plans to publish it at the moment.
