HC Deb 30 October 1989 vol 159 c38W
Mr. Simon Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the provision of civil defence in Swindon.

Mr. John Patten

Responsibility for civil defence planning rests with county councils who are assisted by district councils. We are satisfied that Wiltshire county council, and the district councils within the county, are making good progress towards meeting their statutory obligations.
