Mrs. Adamsonasked the First Commissioner of Works whether he is aware that the Inland Revenue Offices at 7 and 8, Park Street, Croydon, are still without an air-raid shelter; that no work has yet been commenced on it despite promises that it was hoped to put the work in hand shortly; and whether he can give a date on which the work will be commenced?
§ Mr. RamsbothamSince I stated on 6th December that it was hoped to put work in hand shortly on an air-raid shelter for the staff of 82 occupying these offices, modifications have been proposed in the plan which will considerably improve the418W protection afforded. It has been decided to adopt the amended scheme, and, while I cannot, at this moment, give a specific date on which the work will begin, I can assure the hon. Member that there will be no avoidable delay.
