HC Deb 08 July 1983 vol 45 cc188-91W
Mr. Murphy

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will consider taking action regarding unions whose members will not comply with instructions to take part in civil defence exercises.

Mr. Hurd

The draft civil defence regulations which will be laid on 12 July require county and district councils to take part in certain civil defence training exercises. It will be for each council to decide how to meet this requirement.

Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list in the Official Report the preliminary estimates for 1983–84 for civil defence expenditure from each local authority responsible for civil defence provision in England and Wales; and if he will give the comparative revised figures in each case for 1982–83.

Mr Hurd

The following table gives 1983–84 preliminary estimates for each local authority responsible for civil defence expenditure in England and Wales at 1983–84 cash prices. The 1982–83 revised estimates as a forecast of outturn were given for each local authority in reply to a question by my hon. Friend on 27 April.—[Vol. 41, c. 326–28.]
