§ Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland to what extent the civil defence expenditure in Scotland and in the counties of Dunbartonshire, Argyllshire, Lanarkshire and Ayrshire and the city of Glasgow is to be reduced as a result of the cuts in national civil defence expenditure.
§ Mr. RossTotal civil defence expenditure in Scotland, will be reduced in 1968–69 by about £800,000. About three-quarters of this is expected to represent a reduction in local authority expenditure. The reductions in particular areas, and the level of expenditure in later years, have yet to be decided in consultation with the local authority associations and individual authorities.
