57. Mr. De la Bèreasked the Secretary of State for War whether adequate headquarter accommodation has been provided for all newly-recruited units of the antiaircraft defences.
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaThe programme, which is considerable and involves some £3,000,000, is in progress. Where permanent accommodation has not yet been erected, temporary accommodation has been provided.
Mr. De la BèreWill my right hon. Friend do everything in his power to see that this temporary accommodation is really of some use to those who have to make use of it, and not simply a camouflage for various inefficient expedients causing discouragement to recruits or others who are trying to do their duty?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaEverything possible, as my hon. Friend is aware, is being done to expedite a building programme of enormous dimensions, and I hope that too much insistence will not be placed upon shortcomings which would discourage people who are enthusiastic.
