HC Deb 13 September 1939 vol 351 cc627-8
18. Mr. Parker

asked the Minister of Health whether he is aware that there is strong public feeling that Romford and the greater part of Hornchurch should become evacuation areas in view of their exposed position; and whether he will re consider his decision in this matter?

The Minister of Health (Mr. Elliot)

I regret I am not for the moment in a position to consider any further extensions of the list of areas evacuated. Should any further extensions become practicable the claims of the districts to which the hon. Member refers would be borne in mind with those of other areas.
