HC Deb 17 December 1959 vol 615 c209W
69. Mr. Swingler

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will now give authority to local councils to demolish useless air-raid shelters.

Mr. Renton

Local authorities are aware of the grounds on which my right hon. Friend is prepared to consider the demolition of shelters but, as explained on a number of occasions in the past, he thinks it desirable to look at each case on its merits.
