asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they expect a nuclear attack of about 200 megaton on some 80 targets and what casualties would result from such an attack.

The pattern of attack described is a hypothetical one used for training and associated purposes. The effect of any attack would depend on the location of the targets and on the precautions taken beforehand.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they will confirm their official prediction that, in the event of the type of nuclear attack they expect, 90 per cent. of industrial installations would be destroyed and only 15 million people would be left alive in this country.

The effect of any attack would depend on the precautions taken beforehand.

asked Her Majesty's Government:What plans have been made to evacuate district council control staff from High Wycombe in the event of nuclear war.

The Government have made no such plans.

asked Her Majesty's Government:

No such plans have been made.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they endorse the proposal that the Commonwealth should provide officer training for the new Uganda army, as supported by Kenya, Nigeria and India; and whether they will supply a limited interim team while the Commonwealth mission is organised.

We know of no such proposal. But a request for military training was made to my honourable friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State when he visited Uganda in February. A military appraisal of Uganda's training requirements has since been completed. This is being studied and the implications of assistance from the United Kingdom assessed.

asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether they will publish a table showing the number of staff in post in the Agricultural Advisory and Development Service (ADAS) in April this year and at the same date in the four previous years; and what their estimate is of the number of staff that will be in post in April 1982; and whether they will show for each of those years the number of ADAS staff who were or will be involved in giving face-to-face advice to farmers.

The available figures, including figures for the Ministry as a whole, are set out below. While my right honourable friend is considering proposals for further reductions in Ministry staff, in line with the Government's decision to reduce the size of the Civil Service, his decisions on where the reductions will fall will not be made until discussions with the departmental trade union side have taken place. It is therefore not possible to say at this stage how many ADAS staff are expected to be in post at 1st April 1982.
