HC Deb 16 May 1939 vol 347 c1211W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Lord Privy Seal what price the Government are paying for the standard unit steel shelters the total weight of which is approximately 8½ cwts.?

Sir J. Anderson

The arrangements with the steel industry stipulate that the production costs of the various component items shall be subject to cost investigation by the Import Duties Advisory Committee. It is expected that the price, apart from distribution charges, will on the average be approximately £7 per unit shelter.
