§ Mr. Goldieasked the Home Secretary what proportion the grant, authorised by his Department for the purchase of bricks required by the corporation of Warrington for the provision of surface air-raid shelters, bears to the actual cost of such bricks, having regard to the increased cost thereof; and whether, in view of such increase, he is prepared to augment the present grant to the said corporation?

§ Sir J. AndersonThe standard basis is that the cost of the materials used in the construction of individual or multiple domestic shelters is reimbursed up to a limit of 10s. 6d. in the £ of the total cost and the balance of the expenditure is grant-aided. If my hon. Friend will send me particulars illustrating more fully the point he has in mind, I will certainly look into it.
