HC Deb 13 May 1924 vol 173 c1147
52. Sir JAMES REMNANT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the original cost to the Government of the £330,319,038 of material sold by the Disposal Board to 31st March, 1924?

Mr. GRAHAM

I would refer the hon. Baronet to the reply given on the 6th May to the hon. Member for Epping.

Sir J. REMNANT

Did the hon. Gentleman in that answer, which I cannot at the moment recall, state definitely the amount that these commodities cost the country originally? I want to compare the cost with what has been received for them, and to ask whether he still thinks that this wonderful Board has shown the profit to the country of which they are boasting?
