HC Deb 23 February 1948 vol 447 c297W
91. Mr. Viant

asked the Minister of Supply whether in view of the need for steel, etc., he will consider the collection and purchase of the Morrison shelters that were purchased by private persons during the war and are now of no use to them.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

Only a small proportion of the shelters available for recovery are privately owned. Such shelters will, on request, be collected by the local authority free of charge but without payment. Alternatively the owners can sell them to scrap merchants.
