Government experts have drafted a proposal that would relocate Londoners to ‘rest and reception’ areas in the Home Counties, in the event of the Capital suffering from a chemical or biological terrorist attack. Transport Secretary Alistair Darling confirmed the evacuation plan, following a report in the Sunday Times. Mr Darling said the Government was looking at ‘various scenarios’ involving moving people out of London and areas around major airports. The plans would involve Londoners being ferried out of the city to safe areas using special rail, tube, and road transport. The confirmation of Government plans to evacuate London in response to a major terrorist attack comes after emergency services held a massive exercise in the centre of the city, to test their response to such an incident. An attack was simulated at Bank Tube station, and police, fire, and ambulance services spent several hours yesterday removing ‘victims’ from the station, and decontaminating them. Hundreds of emergency services workers donned protective suits for the exercise, which was hailed a success. 12:37pm Monday 8th September 2003
