HC Deb 17 May 1939 vol 347 c1425W
Mr. Stokes

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he is aware that the Home Office type of steel shelter, four feet eight inches wide by six feet long and weighing approximately 800 pounds, is being retailed to the public at a price of over £10; and what steps he proposes to take to stop the national emergency being exploited in this manner?

Sir J. Anderson

I am not aware that there are on sale any unit shelters of the dimensions and specification required for the order placed by my Department.
