HC Deb 25 October 1967 vol 751 cc475-6W
Mr. MacArthur

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if the reorganisation of Civil Defence in Scotland was completed by 30th September; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ross

The reorganisation of the Civil Defence Corps, which I had asked local authorities to aim at by 30th September, was completed by mid-October. Work is continuing on other aspects of the reorganisation of local authority civil defence, and I should like to pay tribute to the spirit in which this task is being tackled.
