BRITAIN'S Ministry of Defence is prepared for a Zombie Apocalypse - but the crisis would have to be managed by civil authorities.
"In the event of an apocalyptic incident (eg zombies), any plans to rebuild and return England to its pre-attack glory would be led by the Cabinet Office, and thus any pre-planning activity would also taken place there," the MoD statement read.
"The Ministry of Defence's role in any such event would be to provide military support to the civil authorities, not take the lead. Consequently, the Ministry of Defence holds no information on this matter."
The Telegraph reports the MoD response is just the latest in a string of enquiries directed at all levels of government about zombie apocalypse plans.
While most are embarrassingly forced to admit a lack of thought when it comes to an undead pandemic, the Bristol city council has presented a surprising level of preparedness.
A Freedom of Information request produced a copy of a "top secret" Bristol city council strategy document.
In it, council staff members were told they would be warned a zombie pandemic was underway through code words broadcast in radio and television reports

Occupational health and safety advice on the correct way to kill zombies was also issued.
"A catalogue of standard issue equipment cuffs, stun guns, protection suits, etc is available on the staff intranet," the document said.
The weapons were procured "where possible, in line with our buy-local policy," the report added.
The Telegraph reports spurious questions such as these are raising concerns that hard-won Freedom of Information rights may be curtailed.
