HC Deb 07 December 1984 vol 69 c284W
13. Mr. Hannam

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will explain the reasons for the delay in issuing his Department's new publication Civil Defence and the Farmer (0 11 241233 5) which was shown on list No. 7, 1984, by Her Majesty's Stationery Office on 17 February.

Mrs. Fenner

The listing of this publication by Her Majesty's Stationery Office on 17 February was premature. No definite date can yet be given for its publication because the text is still subject to amendment on a number of points including the results of the Home Office review of the blast and radiation effects of a nuclear attack.

26. Mr. Malone

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food whether he will change the name of his new publication from "Home Defence and the Farmer" to "Civil Defence and the Farmer".

Mrs. Fenner

We will consider this suggestion.

44. Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when he expects to complete his review of his publication, "Home Defence and the Farmer".

Mrs. Fenner

The review of this publication is now virtually complete but awaits further information on certain outstanding matters including the results of the Home Office review of the blast and radiation effects of a nuclear attack.
