HC Deb 05 March 1947 vol 434 cc74-5W
94. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Air whether any steps are being taken to provide heating apparatus in the barrack blocks of No. 3 R.O.S.U., B.C./Air Station, Miho.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

As my hon. Friend will be aware from my answer of 12th February to the hon. Member for Brighton (Mr. Teeling) the difficulty in heating at Miho has been in the sleeping quarters. Since I made that answer, over l00 large stoves have been issued to the station. At the end of February, 25 had already been installed. Permanent steam heating is also being installed as quickly as the shortage of skilled labour permits. I am now receiving regular progress reports on this subject; they will continue to have my personal attention until these difficulties have been completely overcome.
