HC Deb 12 November 1940 vol 365 cc1596-7W
Mr. Tomlinson

asked the Home Secretary whether his pronouncement on behalf of the Government assuming financial responsibility for the building of future shelters applies to school shelters erected by local education authorities; and will he, in the light of the new policy, revise the grants paid in respect of those already provided?

Miss Wilkinson

The pronouncement to which my hon. Friend refers does not apply to school shelters provided by local education authorities.

Mr. Thorne

asked the Home Secretary whether all public shelters used for sleeping are adequately provided with sanitary arrangements?

Mr. Morrison

The provision has been made in a large proportion of cases and I can assure my hon. Friend that completion of the supply is proceeding with all possible speed in the remainder.
