HC Deb 17 December 1942 vol 385 c2054
32. Major Sir Adrian Baillie

asked the Home Secretary how many surface shelters are being closed in the London County Council area and in the various local government self-contained areas touching the Metropolis, respectively?

Mr. H. Morrison

Proposals to close a number of surface shelters in the London Civil Defence Region are before the Regional Commissioners and the shelters concerned are being individually examined by the Regional staff with a view to deciding in each case whether the contemplated closure would be justified. This survey is now in progress and I regret I am not yet in a position to give the desired figures.
