HC Deb 27 May 1954 vol 528 c35W
5. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Education the name of the local authority whose proposal to build a Civil Defence centre as an adjunct to school premises has been approved by her; and whether she will give full details concerning these proposals.

Miss Horsbrugh

I sanctioned, in 1952, a proposal made by the West Ham authority to provide a Civil Defence control centre beneath a proposed extension to the secondary technical school for girls, after being assured that there was no suitable alternative site. The centre, which is now being built, is designed so as to be entirely separate and self-contained.
