HC Deb 11 June 1973 vol 857 c253W
Sir D. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce Civil Defence regulations to provide for rescue of, and first aid to, casualties.

Mr. Lane

Reorganisation next year of local government and the health service will mean that casualty and first-aid provision in war will be covered by NHS legislation. Provisions relating to rescue will be consolidated in regulations which my right hon. Friend hopes to bring forward shortly.
