The Civil Defence Joint Planning Staff was established in 1948 as an inter-departmental body, administered by the Home Office and reporting to the Cabinet Civil Defence Committee.
Its terms of reference were: "Subject to the general direction and guidance of the Civil Defence Committee,(a) to examine and report on matters of civil defence policy,(b) to co-ordinate the preparation of detailed civil defence plans."
In 1955, the CDJPS was reconstituted as the Civil Defence Planning Committee, which operated within the Cabinet Committee structure.
