HC Deb 13 May 1919 vol 115 cc1466-7W
Viscount WOLMER

asked the Secretary of State for War whether surplus Army supplies at present deposited at such places as Aden, Basra, Suez, etc., will be sold locally; and what steps intending purchasers should take to apply for detailed information on the subject?

Mr. KELLAWAY

As and when stores and property are notified by the War Office as surplus to military requirements, the Commissioners of the Disposal Board in the various theatres of war advise the Board whether, in each case, they should be sold locally or otherwise. All sales, whether made locally or not, are advertised widely, so that all persons interested may have an opportunity of purchasing.
