HC Deb 26 April 1939 vol 346 c1166W
Mr. McEntee

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether, in view of the fact that all taxpayers are being called on to pay for the steel shelters, he will consider supplying them free to all applicants, irrespective of income?

Sir J. Anderson

The hon. Member's suggestion would involve a radical departure from the basis of distribution decided upon by the Government after the fullest consideration, and I am afraid I cannot entertain it.
