§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list what financial allocations for civil defence planning have been made to each of the regional health authorities in England and Wales for each of the last five years.
§ Mrs. CurrieAllocations to regional health authorities in 1981–82 included £38,000 provided to meet the costs of creating posts with responsibility for home defence planning and co-ordination. Since 1982–83 this funding has been built into authorities' baseline cash limits and has not been allocated separately.
Information relating to Wales is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales.
