HC Deb 16 May 1939 vol 347 c1210W
Mr. W. R. Duckworth

asked the Minister of Health whether he can state the number of acceptances by parents ready for their children to be evacuated in time of war in the chief Lancashire towns thus affected?

Mr. Elliot

I understand that up to the last week in April acceptances in respect of 116,000 children had been received in Liverpool and in respect of 9,000 in Bootle. Detailed particulars for the other areas in Lancashire are not at present available.
