§ 65. Mr. Wallasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress is being made with the provision of fall-out shelters.
§ Mr. WoodhouseThe Government do not at present contemplate a national programme for the provision of fall-out shelter, but advice to householders on providing such shelter within their own homes is available and would be made widely known by broadcast and other means in the event of an emergency. The Government is carrying out a pilot survey directed to the possibility of using suitable existing buildings as communal shelter for the occupants of houses where the degree of protection is small and could not readily be improved.
