§ Mr. Awberyasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give an assurance that arrangements for liaison between the Civil Defence Staff College and the Army Staff College are satisfactory.
§ Mr. de FreitasYes. Relations between the two Staff Colleges are very close and cordial. In addition to frequent interchange of visits and lectures, arrangements have been made for an instructor from the Army Staff College to be seconded for six months to the directing staff of the Civil Defence College, and one week of each year's course at the Army College is devoted to the study of Civil Defence problems, in which the directing staff and students of the Civil Defence College participate. These arrangements are much appreciated by my Department and are a valuable contribution to the examination of problems of common interest.
