§ Mr. P. Noel-Bakerasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty how much money was spent on civil defence by his Department in the financial years 1952–53, 1953–54, 1954–55, 1955–56 and 1956–57, respectively.
§ Mr. T. G. D. GalbraithExpenditure from Navy Votes on services which could properly be regarded as civil defence is not recorded in such a way as to enable me to give a positive answer to the right hon. Gentleman's Question, or even to give an estimate of what may have been spent. I am, however, assured that expenditure by the Admiralty for this purpose is not heavy.
