HC Deb 17 October 2001 vol 372 cc1232-3W
Mr. Brady

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department (1) what civil defence guidance has been issued to schools since 11 September; [7501]

(2) what plans he has to issue updated civil defence guidance to parents of school age children. [7500]

Mr. Ivan Lewis

[holding answer 15 October 2001]: I have been asked to reply.

Existing Government guidance to local authorities and others on civil defence continues to apply. My Department will shortly issue further guidance for local education authorities to disseminate to schools and others on a range of issues resulting from the terrorist attacks in the USA and subsequent events.
