SURPLUS GOVERNMENT STORES (WHITE PAPER)

HC Deb 18 July 1944 vol 402 c19

34. Mr. Woodburn

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is yet in a position to present the Government's plans in regard to surplus stores and capital equipment after the war.

Mr. Dalton

Yes, Sir; I am presenting a White Paper on this subject to-day, and I understand that copies are now available in the Vote Office.

Mr. Woodburn

Is the right hon. Gentleman satisfied that, if peace should suddenly burst upon us, the machinery will be ready?

Mr. Dalton

I hope the machinery will be ready before peace bursts upon us.
