HC Deb 25 May 1939 vol 347 c2525W
Mr. Ammon

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether his attention has been called to the increase in price for large air-raid shelters quoted at £44 in March last for delivery anywhere, which are now priced at £62 10s. delivered London only; and what steps does he propose to take to prevent such profiteering?

Sir J. Anderson

My attention has been called to one such case and I am inquiring into the circumstances.

Mr. Maclean

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he can state the latest prices being charged for air-raid shelters, and, also, if he will state the comparative prices for similar shelters three months ago?

Sir J. Anderson

There has been no change in the price of the standard steel shelter supplied to my Department.
