§ 48. Mr. Ellis Smithasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he is aware of the special attention that is required in the Lancashire and North Staffordshire areas where the density of population is greater than any other part of the country; that the inhabitants per square mile are nearly double any other part; is special attention being given to these special conditions, and what action he proposes to take?
§ Sir J. AndersonDensity of population is a factor to be taken into account, especially in connection with the provision of shelters; and my Department and, I am sure, the responsible local authorities concerned, are fully alive to its importance.
