§ Colonel ASHLEYasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether the Government are now prepared to make any concession to ex-Service men in regard to the disposal of surplus Government property?
Mr. HOPEAs I have already stated on previous occasions, the Disposal Board are unable to offer preferential terms to anyone in the purchase of surplus Government property. Arrangements can, however, be made for the sale of stores to approved organisations acting in the in- 709W terests of ex-Service men. Sales of motor vehicles have, in fact, been made by the Board to the War Motors Association, an organisation of this kind.
