A Morrison Shelter was issued to people who didn't have a garden and therefore couldn't use an Anderson shelter. It was a protective cage that could be assembled inside a house and would protect from falling masonry etc. but not from a direct hit.
Morrison shelters were useful for a hiding place when the air siren's when off !
They are made from Earth on the outside but corrunated metal from the inside
The Morrison Shelter was a 6 x 4 x 2.5 ft steel shelter made to fit in houses and give some protection during air raids.

The Anderson Shelter And The Morrison Shelter
The Anderson Shelter was the first shelter that was given in World War 2 but i don't really remember the other air raid shelter
There were two types of shelter available for home use during World War 2. The Anderson shelter was supplied to people who had a back garden. You would have to dig a hole in your garden big enough to bury half of the shelter. The spoil from the hole was then used to cover the top of the shelter. It was reasonably successful in protecting from bomb blast but couldn't take a direct hit. The Morrison shelter was for people who had no back garden and was basically a self assembled steel cage which could be put under a stairs or somewhere similar.
I wasn't born when World War 2 was on, but i think my grandpa had an Anderson Shelter.
