HC Deb 12 February 1982 vol 17 c481W
Mr. Body

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department which county authorities in England and Wales have informed him that they have directed their emergency planning teams to plan only for peace-time emergencies on the grounds that they have declared their areas to be nuclear-free areas.

Mr. Mayhew

None. County councils are aware of their obligations under the Civil Defence (Planning) Regulations 1974 (SI 1974/70) to plan against the effects of a hostile attack.
