asked the Minister for Defence if the new Department of Defence Headquarters will contain a nuclear shelter; if he will provide details as to whom this shelter would house; the level of radiation in the atmosphere that would be deemed necessary for these people to use this shelter; if he will provide information as to whether this shelter would be used under any other circumstances; and if so, if he will detail the circumstances.

The new Department of Defence building will not contain a shelter against radioactive fallout as it is not intended that this building would be used as a control centre in wartime.
