HC Deb 19 July 1979 vol 970 cc797-8W
Mr. Gordon Wilson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what finance he has supplied to Scottish local authorities for the removal of air raid shelters; and whether he intends to make some further provision to meet this problem.

Mr. Younger

From 1971 to 1973 local authorities were offered 100 per cent. grants at a cost of about £360,000 to demolish their remaining surplus Second World War shelters. This programme was terminated in March 1973. I have no proposals to resume it.
