HC Deb 06 February 1941 vol 368 c1054
7. Mr. Cecil Wilson

asked the Minister of Labour whether he is aware that there are 20,000 Anderson shelters in Sheffield which, owing to their flooded condition, cannot be used and that the city engineer has only been able to get 130 men for the contractors undertaking the work and these contractors are capable of employing 600 men; and can anything be done towards securing this labour, as the matter is extremely urgent?

Mr. Assheton

My right hon. Friend is having inquiries made and will communicate with his hon. Friend.
