§ MR. ARTHUR O'CONNORasked the Surveyor General of Ordnance, Whether, in connection with the present stock-taking of "Remain" of stores now going on at Woolwich, large quantities of obsolute and unserviceable stores are to be sold by auction; whether he will furnish to the House a copy of each Catalogue made for such auction and account purposes; and, whether the results of the "Remain" now proceeding will be compared with the ledger balances; and, if that course is not to be taken, if he would explain the reason?
§ MR. BRAND, in reply, said, that the stores in question would be sold by auction or tender; but he thought the hon. Member would, on consideration, see that it was not worth while to incur the expenditure that a printed copy of these catalogues would entail. They were advertised in the Press, and could be obtained on application at the War Office or from the auctioneer. The results of the "Remain" now proceeding were being compared with the ledger balances.
