§ Mr. McEnteeasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he is aware that much inconvenience is being caused to householders by the continued refusal of local authorities to remove Morrison shelters from dwellinghouses; and if he will now agree that they may be removed.
§ Mr. EdeInstructions were issued to to local authorities on 1st July to proceed with the collection of Morrison shelters from householders as soon as local circumstances permit. I am aware that progress of the work is being impeded in certain localities, including Waltbamstow, by shortage of the necessary supervisory and other labour as well as of transport, but I hope that it will be possible to remedy this before long.
