HC Deb 15 May 1995 vol 260 c90W
Mrs. Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a list of(a) Ministers (b) civil servants who are entitled to use the civil defence facility underneath Cultybraggan training camp, near Comrie, in the event of it having to be used as an emergency centre of Government in time of war; and if he will make a statement. [23188]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

[holding answer 11 May 1995]: Arrangements for designating individuals to be deployed to regional Government headquarters have been discontinued and lists of such individuals are no longer maintained.

It is anticipated that formal arrangements for the deployment of designated staff to regional Government headquarters would be reintroduced only in the event of a return to a threat situation such as that which existed during the cold war.
