HC Deb 04 July 1940 vol 362 c987
26. Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the Minister of Health whether he will consider the formation of mobile building squads to repair promptly all damage from air raids in their respective districts?

Mr. M. MacDonald

I am sending my hon. Friend copies of two circulars, issued in August and September last, in which guidance was given to local authorities on this subject. My regional officers have been in touch with local authorities on the action taken, and I am not aware of any cases in which arrangements made in compliance with those circulars have not operated satisfactorily.
