§ 48. Mr. MOSLEYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the total sum received in respect of the sale of war stores from the date of the Armistice to the 28th February, 1922; and whether the whole of that sum has been treated as revenue?
§ Sir R. HORNESo far as the Disposal and Liquidation Commission is concerned, the answer is that the actual cash received and paid into the Exchequer for surplus war stores to the 28th February, 1922, is £227,000,000. This does not include sales of raw material made on trading accounts, or sales of surplus 1532 war stores made by other Departments, e.g., horses by the War Offices, shipping by the Ministry of Shipping, etc.
§ Mr. LYLE-SAMUELWill the right hon. Gentleman answer the latter part of the question—whether the whole of that sum has been treated as revenue?
