asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he expects the tactical wing of the Civil Defence Staff College to be completed, and the first course to take place.

Construction of the tactical school to accommodate 50 students is proceeding satisfactorily in the grounds of the Civil Defence Staff College at Sunningdale Park. Steps are being taken to select the necessary additional staff and to prepare the instructional material for this school. It is too soon to give a firm date for the holding of the first course.
