40. Lieutenant William Shepherd

asked the President of the Board of Trade when it is intended to dispose of the large stocks of C.D. equipment and clothing now lying at various dumps.

Sir S. Cripps

Civil Defence equipment and clothing which is the Government's property is being steadily cleared, but I am considering what steps can be taken to speed up the disposal.
