§ 84. Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what answer he has sent to the letter dated 27th February from Aberdeen Corporation protesting against the proposed disbandment of the Civil Defence Corps.
§ Mr. RossI have replied that, while I appreciate the value of the services given by the Corps in the past, there can be no question in present economic circumstances of going back on the Government's decision to disband it. I have sent my hon. and learned Friend a copy of the reply.
