The Civil Defence (Emergency Feeding) Regulations 1951, made under the Civil Defence Act 1948, placed on the councils of counties and county boroughs of England and Wales responsibility for making plans to feed members of the civil population who, as a result of hostile action, are unable to feed themselves. The Civil Defence (Grant) Regulations 1953 provided that approved expenditure by these authorities should be repaid in full.
The Civic Restaurants Act 1947 enabled local authorities to operate restaurants, under the financial supervision of the Minister of Food. Responsibility for civic restaurant work was moved in 1970 to General Food Policy Division II (EB series).
