HC Deb 01 May 1958 vol 587 c66W
Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Air the approximate annual cost of the Royal Observer Corps.

Mr. C. I. Orr-Ewing

The total cost to Air Votes in the current financial year is estimated at just under £700,000. In addition, certain expenditure arising from the fall-out monitoring role, almost entirely on the provision of protected accommodation, is borne on the Votes of the Home Office and the Scottish Home Department.
