HC Deb 31 January 1968 vol 757 c346W
84. Mr. Oakes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what provision there will be for voluntary assistance in areas of major disasters such as floods on the winding up of the Civil Defence and Army Volunteer Reserve, Category III, forces.

Mr. Taverne

The help of a number of voluntary organisations will no doubt continue to be available, as in the past, to supplement the work of the police, fire and other regular services.
