§ 40. Sir Geoffrey Finsbergasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what civil defence research and development subjects have been considered by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation civil defence committee.
§ Mr. Giles ShawI refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to a question from my hon. Friend the Member for Ilford, South (Mr. Thorne), on 13 November 1984 at column201. The committee does not initiate or sponsor research and development which is a matter for member nations, but in its work takes into account as appropriate the latest information available.
