HC Deb 15 February 1982 vol 18 c57W
Mr. Body

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland which regional authorities have informed him that they have directed their emergency planning teams to plan only for peace-time emergencies, on the grounds that they have declared their areas to be nuclear-free areas.

Mr. Rifkind

None. Regional councils know that they have a duty under the Civil Defence (Planning) (Scotland) Regulations 1975 to plan for the protection of their populations in time of war.
