Patrick Mercer

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he plans to post advice for citizens on actions to be taken during terrorist attacks on the(a) Home Office and (b) UK resilience websites. [184600]

Mr. Blunkett

I refer the hon. Member to my statement of 20 March 2003,Official Report, column 51 WS.

The UK Resilience website already directs the public to the Home Office website and the advice on what measures they can take to protect themselves from terrorism at work, home and when preparing to go abroad http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/terrorism/ protect/index.html.

The hon. Member will also be aware that on Monday 26 July my colleague Caroline Flint MP launched a public information booklet called "Preparing for Emergencies—What You Need To Know" which will be delivered to every household in the UK during August. This booklet can be accessed on the following website: www.preparingforemergencies.gov.uk.
