HC Deb 08 March 1955 vol 538 cc26-7W
113. Mr. Swingler

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air when the training of airmen in Civil Defence duties will commence; who will be responsible for the instruction; and how many hours of training time, per week, will be devoted to the subject.

Mr. Ward

All airmen are already given some instruction in civil defence, but we are examining what further arrangements may be necessary to implement the policy announced in paragraph 106 of the Defence White Paper.
