HC Deb 03 February 1949 vol 460 c247W
36. Mr. F. Noel-Baker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what consideration he has given to the representations from the Brentford and Chiswick Borough Council asking for his sanction to demolish air raid shelters at Alma, Albany and Burford Houses, Ealing Road, Brentford, and St. Paul's House, St. Paul's Road, Brentford, in view of the serious obstruction they offer to the use of these small sites, and the potential danger to children who make a practice of playing on the sloping roofs of the entrances; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Ede

These shelters are structually sound and it would be contrary to the present policy to demolish them. My officers are getting into touch with the council to see how best to overcome the difficulties to which my hon. Friend refers.
