§ 67. Mr. Palmerasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will give permission for the demolition of communal air-raid shelters in back streets in the Eston urban district because of the long-standing nuisance caused to residents and the unsuitability of such shelters for serious protection against aerial attack in the event of another war.
§ Sir D. Maxwell FyfeI am advised that the communal shelters at Eston would givemuch better protection than a house against an attack with either high explosive or atomic bombs, and I regret that I am unable to agree that they should be demolished.
