§ Mrs. Braddockasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why the hon. Member for the Exchange Division of Liverpool was not notified of the visit of his Department's officials to the Gerard Crescent air raid shelters on 6th June, 1952; if he is aware that the residents of the area resent the discourtesy shown to their Member, in view of the inconvenience and worry they have had to endure for so long; and, in view of the inspection of the shelters, what action he now proposes to take to see that conditions are improved in the area.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeWhen replying to the Question which the hon. Member put to me on 22nd May, I promised to write to her about these shelters and I did so on 5th June, telling her what measures had been proposed by the medical officer of health and saying that the carrying out of these measures would be examined at once. The shelters were inspected on the following day by representatives of the city architect and the Ministry of Works and the measures proposed are being put in hand.
