asked the Minister of Health whether all surface and underground shelters are now equipped with bunks, lavatory accommodation, heating facilities and those other necessary amenities to give a moderate degree of comfort and sanitation to their users?

Bunks, sanitary conveniences, heating, lighting and other amenities have been installed in a substantial proportion of the public and communal domestic shelters in every area in which these shelters are likely to be used for sleeping. In addition, bunks have been installed free of charge to householders in Anderson and other individual domestic shelters. The work is progressing as fast as available supplies of material and labour permit.
