HC Deb 03 June 1964 vol 695 c170W
Dr. A. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for consultation and co-operation with Press, radio and television for alerting the public in the event of any serious epidemic, and for providing detailed advice as to the necessary precautions to take.

Mr. Noble

The arrangements required must vary according to the circumstances, but I fully recognise—as I am sure do local authorities—the importance of enlisting the co-operation of the Press, radio and television in informing and advising the public.
