HC Deb 05 July 1920 vol 131 c1051W
Major HENDERSON

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether the dump of shells, copper, and brass lying in Bilsland Drive, Maryhill, Glasgow, is Government property; and, if so, what steps are being taken to dispose of it?

Mr. HOPE

The majority of the material referred to by my hon. and gallant Friend has already been sold and delivery is being taken by the purchasers as quickly as possible. There remains about 7,000 tons of shell forgings, and small quantities of spelter and antimony, and negotiations for the sale of these materials are proceeding.
