HC Deb 12 July 1982 vol 27 c276W
Mr. McMahon

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) whether any estimates have been made of casualties from nuclear war in south-west Scotland;

(2) what measure of protection will be afforded to the civilian population in the communities of south-west Scotland in the event of a nuclear war.

Mr. Allan Stewart

As stated in the reply given to the hon. Member on 26 November 1981 — [Vol. 13,c.469.]—it is not possible to make a reliable estimate of casualties in individual areas.
