HC Deb 05 October 1939 vol 351 c2104W
Mr. David Adams

asked the Home Secretary whether he will state the progress made in the supply of Anderson shelters to the Consett area; and when it is anticipated that this will be complete?

Sir J. Anderson

Applications have been received from Consett for 3,246 shelters. The majority of these applications were only received during the past few, weeks: but 2,100 of the shelters applied for have already been delivered or are now in course of delivery. It is expected that the balance will have been delivered by the end of this month.

Mr. Leonard

asked the Home Secretary (1) how many public air-raid shelters have been provided in Glasgow; and whether, in the main thoroughfares, any basements or other suitable accommodation have been requisitioned as emergency shelters;

(2) What progress has been made in planning the scheme for strengthening the closes of tenement buildings in Glasgow; how many have been completed to date; and in what part of the city?

Sir J. Anderson

I am writing to the hon. Member sending him the information for which he asks.
