HC Deb 28 July 1936 vol 315 cc1334-5W
Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Minister for the Co-ordination of Defence whether, in view of the decision to move certain factories of strategical importance to situations remote from the London area, any consideration has been given to the evolution of arrangements for removing from London in the event of an emergency the essential strategical sections of the Admiralty, War Office, and Air Ministry?

Sir T. INSKIP

Yes, Sir. It is the duty of the Committee of Imperial Defence to have plans in readiness for maintaining the machinery of Government in an emergency.
