Proceeding contribution from Lord Garden (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 October 2005. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (Contingency Planning) Regulations 2005.


Civil Contingencies Act 2004 (Contingency Planning) Regulations 2005

The Ministry of Defence question was raised again. We discussed it during the passage of the Bill, when there was an extraordinary reluctance to put the Ministry of Defence under any obligation to do anything. It always works on the principle that it will turn up on the day with what it has got. Currently, it is a bit short in those terms. This is a serious, non-partisan question: will the Minister undertake to look again at whether he is putting in place the appropriate structure to engage the Ministry of Defence? I hear out in the field that the relationships are not always that good.
