HC Deb 05 July 1962 vol 662 c78W
37. Mr. P. Noel-Baker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what policy he has adopted concerning the provision of public shelters to protect the population of Great Britain in case of war; and what proportion of the money voted for Civil Defence will be spent on the construction of such shelters.

Mr. Renton

It is not the Government's intention to construct purpose-built public shelters, the provision of which on a country-wide scale would not be feasible. The second part of the Question does not therefore arise.
