HC Deb 16 November 1966 vol 736 c103W
66. Mr. John Ellis

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what instruction he has given to the Meteorological Office for the issue of warnings to Press, radio and television, in the event of dangerous weather occurring, which was not necessarily forecast.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

Warnings of exceptional weather are included in the routine forecasts issued through the Press, radio and television, which are brought up to date throughout the day. Special warnings may also be broadcast by arrangement with the B.B.C.
