§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, in view of the hardship caused by the withdrawal of Government grants for the demolition of air-raid shelters, if he will consider giving an exceptional 12 months' extension of financial support for such demolitions; if he will publicise such a proposal; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. LaneIn March 1972 12 months' notice was given of the ending of grant for the demolition of air-raid shelters built during the war of 1939–45, and I do not consider that an extension would be justified.
