Miss Maynard

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether any financial and other assistance has been given by his Department to the National Council for Civil Defence in each year since it was established.

Mr. Mayhew

No financial assistance has been given by the Home Office to the National Council for Civil Defence. Our assistance has been confined to the usual processes of consultation and encouragement.
