HC Deb 15 December 1980 vol 996 c40W
Mr. Alton

asked the Minister for the Civil Service how many civil servants will be employed in nuclear shelters in the event of a nuclear war.

Mr. Channon

None will be employed in nuclear shelters as such. A number of Ministers, civil servants and outside experts will be deployed throughout the country in regional and sub-regional headquarters; some of these will be housed underground. It would be inappropriate for me to give numbers.
