§ 66. Mr. R. C. Morrisonasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that 12 motor coaches, with drivers, requisitioned for ambulance work have been standing in the roadway opposite a North London town hall since 1st September; and will he consider whether, in this and similar cases, some less expensive arrangement can be made?
§ Mr. ElliotI am keeping the question of the modification of arrangements for dealing with possible air raid casualties under constant review and am at present considering the possibility of releasing a proportion of the motor coaches which have been converted for use as ambulances.
§ Mr. MorrisonCould not the right hon. Gentleman make some less expensive arrangement than that of having a long line of motor coaches standing by, night and day, with their drivers, in the roadway in some cases within 50 yards of a garage?
§ Mr. ElliotIf adequate measures are not taken for the London population in the case of air raids, it is I who will be held responsible, and I must keep that always under consideration in connection with the facilities arranged for dealing with London sick or casualties.
