§ 67. Mr. Doddsasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that the boroughs of Bexley and Erith and the urban districts of Chislehurst and Sidcup and Crayford, with a population of 246,850, have no precise information about the location of the civil defence area control centre in their area 52B; and if he will make a statement to clarify the situation in view of the danger which would arise in an emergency.
§ Mr. BrookeThe permanent control for the new London Borough 18, which will be a Civil Defence Corps authority and will cover much the same territory as Civil Defence Area 52B, cannot be provided until the new Borough Authority has decided where its administrative headquarters are to be. If meanwhile an emergency should arise, I 45W understand that the Kent County Council, which is the present Civil Defence Corps authority, would arrange for the use of the underground control centre adjacent to the council offices at Bexley as an area control
