HC Deb 21 April 1947 vol 436 c593
30. Mr. Erroll

asked the Minister of Supply how much oil-well drilling equipment has been delivered by Woolwich Arsenal to the British Oilfield Equipment Company; how much has been accepted by them as satisfactory; and how much rejected.

Mr. Wilmot

A considerable quantity of this equipment has been delivered and none of it has been rejected.

Mr. Erroll

Can the Minister say whether this equipment has been put into service and if it has proved satisfactory in the oil lines?

Mr. Wilmot

That is the business of the purchaser and not of my Department.
