HC Deb 23 May 1968 vol 765 c117W
43. Sir D. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to ensure that local authorities will continue to receive advice from scientific intelligence officers as part of their obligation to maintain emergency planning arrangements.

Mr. Ennals

It should be possible, through training to be given at the Civil Defence Training School at Easingwold and in other ways, to ensure that local authorities can maintain a nucleus of trained scientific intelligence officers. This is now being discussed with the local authority Associations.
