HC Deb 13 January 1986 vol 89 c456W
Mr. Brandon-Bravo

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he hopes to advise local authorities on recommended emergency planning staff levels and salaries.

Mr. Giles Shaw

A decision will be taken later this year on whether and what advice on manpower levels would be appropriate when the assessment of progress made on implementation of the 1983 regulations is complete. Staff salaries are a matter for local authorities to determine.
