Mr. Andersonasked the First Commissioner of Works whether arrangements have been made for air-raid shelters and gas-proof chambers to be provided for the houses now being erected on the site of the new ordnance factory at Euxton, near Chorley?
§ Sir P. SassoonI assume that the hon. Member is referring to the quarters of the Factory Police. The roofs of these houses have been specially strengthened against air attack. In an emergency it should also be possible both to gas-proof a room and dig trenches in the gardens on the lines laid down in the Air-Raid Precautions Handbooks.
