Voluntary Civil Defence Associations (Equipment)

HC Deb 09 May 1968 vol 764 c125W

45. Mr. Berry

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will allow local voluntary civil defence associations to retain equipment at present in use by the Civil Defence Corps.

Mr. Ennals

No. But if a local authority wishes to purchase Government-owned civil defence equipment for use by local volunteers, the Department will be prepared to consider applications.
