HC Deb 13 May 1971 vol 817 c155W
34. Mr. Kaufman

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will seek powers to compel local authorities to demolish domestic air raid shelters.

Mr. Peter Walker

This is a matter for the owners of such shelters. Where they are dangerous, unhealthy or in the way of approved development, the local authority may demolish them at the public expense.
