HC Deb 11 April 1905 vol 144 c1260
MR. BARRAN (Leeds, N.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty if he will state the value of the blue serges sold by auction and tender in the months of November, December, January, and February last.

THE CIVIL LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. ARTHUR LEE, Hampshire, Fareham)

Blue serge, value about £3,000, was sold—all by auction—at Deptford on the 6th December, 1904. This was the only sale of serge during the period named in the hon. Member's Question.

MR. RUNCIMAN (Dewsbury)

Cannot the hon. Gentleman give the price per yard realised?

SIR GEORGE BARTLEY (Islington, N.)

And are you not at the present moment buying serges?

MR. ARTHUR LEE

I must ask for notice of any further Questions.
