HC Deb 18 February 1981 vol 999 c127W
Mr. Pawsey

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Rugby of 20 January, Official Report, column 98, he will list the occasions in each year since 1974 on which his Department has consulted local authority associations on their civil defence responsibilities.

Mr. Mayhew

The compilation of such a list would involve disproportionate cost. We have consulted local authority associations in the course of preparing circulars, and they have been represented at seminars and on working parties.
