PROBLEM OF NIGHT SHELTERS
:
The indiscriminate bombing of London's civil- ian population has raised in acute form the problem of night shelters and Gov- ernment's policy on this question was referred to yesterday by the Parlia- mentary Secretary to the Ministry of Home Securi- Ity.
· Current programme shalter-pro- duction was being accelerated, he |said, -and there was no shortage
of labour for rapid building.
Other- schemes-outlined: includ- ed a substantial increase in shel- ters available for the whole of every day and the opening of basements where these were strong enough would be applied to blocks of flats and unoccupied and possibly occupied houses.
He also said shelters would be provided with: bunks, double, Atriple and Ubanked, -s0 they could be used as dàrmitories; and a million of these hunks would be made at once. First aid posts were being es- tablished in large shelters.
Speaking of the Tube stations, many of which had already been used by the public as night shel- ters, he said this had now been re- cognised and there now were ar- rangements being made to spro- vide supervision and adequate sanitary, arrangements. -British Wireless.
