HC Deb 24 June 1954 vol 529 c48W
51. Mr. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects to have published a cheap pocket size book on Civil Defence designed to impress upon the public the effects of the new weapons and the extent to which they can be mitigated by knowledge, preparation and counter action as suggested to him by the Mabane Committee's report of 3rd March.

Sir D. Maxwell Fyfe

I have had to postpone a decision on this recommendation until we are further advanced with the general review of Civil Defence plans that has been made necessary by the further information about the development of the hydrogen bomb.
