Mr. David Adamsasked the Lord Privy Seal whether it is his intention to seek statutory powers to control prices and material required in the provision of air-raid protection, and to secure a reasonable minimum of shelter, where practicable, for members of the public against air raids in all future public and private buildings?
§ Sir J. AndersonThese matters have been under consideration, but I cannot at present anticipate the contents of any Bill that it may be decided to introduce.
§ Mr. Parkinsonasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will state the number of local authorities in Lancashire where air-raid precautions during the recent crisis were unsatisfactory, stating cities, boroughs, and other local authorities, separately?
§ Sir J. AndersonI do not think it would serve any useful purpose to attempt to discriminate in the manner suggested between the various local authorities in the county.
