HC Deb 21 August 1940 vol 364 c1335W
Captain Pilkington

asked the Home Secretary whether the shortage of materials for building and completing air-raid shelters, in a district of which he has been privately informed, has yet been made good?

Sir J. Anderson

All possible steps are being taken to ease the position, but I am afraid I cannot hold out any prospect that the existing deficiencies can be made good in the near future.
