HC Deb 19 July 1938 vol 338 c1976
34. Mr. Day

asked the Secretary of State for War particulars and the names of the individual foreign countries that have purchased surplus war material from Great Britain during the two years ended to the last convenient date; and the amount of and quantities of war materials so purchased?

Sir V. Warrender

It would not be in the public interest to disclose the names of the individual foreign countries to whom, or for export to whom, His Majesty's Government dispose of surplus war material. It would also be contrary to the general practice to disclose the values of particular sale contracts.

Mr. Day

Am I to understand that the surplus war material is also obsolete?
