HC Deb 04 April 1950 vol 473 c1013
82. Mr. Llewellyn

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now adopt the same policy as that pursued by the Ministry of Supply with regard to the disposal of surplus textiles; why the Surplus Textiles Corporation enjoys a monopoly in the disposal of surplus textiles supplies through his Department; what has been the annual turnover in such goods; and what profits have been made annually by the Corporation.

Mr. Bottomley

The Board of Trade does not dispose of surplus textiles, and the other parts of the Question do not therefore arise.
