HC Deb 06 May 1954 vol 527 c30W
Sir H. Linstead

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what instructions he has given to local authorities about the removal of air-raid shelters built by them in private gardens.

Sir D, Maxwell Fyfe

Local authorities have been advised that all sound existing shelters should be retained and that demolition at public expense should be undertaken only where there are exceptional circumstances, such as danger to health or danger of collapse of the structure.
