§ 94. Sir CHARLES CAYZERasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the methods of disposing of War material at the Government factory at Queen's Ferry; whether the present practice is to load it into motor lorries and send it by road to Morecambe, there to be transferred to barges and dumped into the sea; if he will explain why the material is not loaded direct on to barges on the Dee, thus saving much public money; and whether he will institute an official inquiry into the whole procedure?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSThe method of transport adopted for the removal of this material was decided on after the most careful consideration by a technical committee advising the Disposal and Liquidation Commission. I should be glad if my hon. Friend would see me on this matter.
