§ Mr. Fernyhoughasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is his policy regarding the siting of civil defence training grounds adjacent to civil defence headquarters.
§ Mr. BrookeThe selection of sites for training facilities for the Civil Defence Corps is the responsibility of the local authorities undertaking the provision of these facilities. I should not be justified in introducing a requirement restricting the siting of training grounds in the way indicated.
§ Mr. Fernyhoughasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases the sites of existing and proposed civil defence exercise grounds 215W are adjacent to the civil defence headquarters which they serve; and in how many cases they are elsewhere.
§ Mr. BrookeI regret that the information for which the hon. Member asks is not available.
