HC Deb 03 June 1980 vol 985 c646W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he intends to issue carbon-bonded anti-radiation suits to the civilian population to protect them in case of a nuclear attack in war; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brittan

No. These suits are for battlefield protection. They would be of little value to civilians in this country.
