HC Deb 12 February 1986 vol 91 c483W
41. Mr. Gerald Bowden

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry when he expects his study of the role of industry in civil defence planning to be completed.

Mr. Pattie

On current plans, it is hoped that the assessment of the essential requirements which industry could be called on to supply for civil defence purposes, and industry's capability to meet them, will be substantially complete by the middle of next year.
