§ Mr. D. E. Thomasasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many letters have been sent out to 358W local authorities by Mr. Eric Alley, civil defence adviser to the Home Office, since 1 October; with which authorities Mr. Alley has engaged in correspondence; and if he will publish the text of all correspondence in the Official Report.
§ Mr. Giles Shaw[pursuant to his reply, 21 November 1985, c. 275]: Between 1 October and 20 November the civil defence advisee wrote to Avon, Greater Manchester, Kent, Mid-Glamorgan (two letters), North Yorkshire, Tyne and Wear, Warwickshire and West Glamorgan (two letters) county councils; and Carmarthen district council. Whilst it would not be appropriate to publish the correspondence in the Official Report, I have placed copies in the Library.
