Home Defence and Emergency Services Division

From 1935 to 1971 civil defence in the United Kingdom was the responsibility of the Civil Defence Department. On the run-down of civil defence in 1971 the department was replaced by the Home Defence and Emergency Services Division of the Home Office. It was later renamed the Emergency Planning Division.

The head of the division was an Assistant Secretary.
