MR. A. T. DAVIESasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether tenders have been issued for 20,000 new beds for the Royal Air 1650W Force; whether 8,000 beds have been ad vertised for sale in the current month's surplus; and whether he will consider the cancellation of the tenders referred to?
§ Mr. KELLAWAYNo tenders for now beds have been issued by the Ministry of Munitions. My hon. Friend's question would appear to refer to tenders issued by the Office of Works, which, as was stated in my answer to the hon. Member for the Yardley Division of Birmingham, were subsequently cancelled. Approximately 4,000 beds are advertised for sale in the current issue of "Surplus," dated the 15th November.
