National Voluntary Civil Aid Service (Hansard, 31 March 1977)

HC Deb 31 March 1977 vol 929 c197W 197W

§ 38. Mr. John H. Osborn
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will issue a circular to local authorities drawing their attention to the fact that the voluntary civil aid service has a register of qualified instructors with high standards of proficiency for dealing with emergencies.

§ Dr. Shirley Summerskill
No. I believe the National Voluntary Civil Aid Service, which is one of a number of voluntary bodies who may be able to help in an emergency, has already drawn local authorities' attention to its facilities.
