HC Deb 12 July 1917 vol 95 c2127W
Mr. CHANCELLOR

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he will use some of the forces in London in the course of their training to construct at convenient spots in the most frequented parks and open spaces bomb-proof dugouts in which the public could take shelter during air raids?

Mr. MACPHERSON

My hon. Friend's suggestion is receiving consideration, but the construction of sufficient dug-outs to benefit the population of London to any material extent is obviously a very large undertaking which requires careful examination.
