HC Deb 25 February 1969 vol 778 c265W
65. Sir D. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what advice or guidance has been given by him to chief officers of police with regard to contingency planning and preparation for peacetime emergencies.

Mr. Callaghan

There is standing machinery for discussion of operational matters of this kind between the Home Office and chief officers of police, with whom responsibility for the preparation of emergency plans by police forces rests.
