§ Major GLYNasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether all the oil storage tanks that were constructed for the storage of oil fuel for the Navy in the time of war are required in times of peace; and whether, if they can be leased to reliable firms on condition that they would be surrendered when required in good order, there is any objection to such a course?
§ Mr. AMERYAll tanks constructed during the War and since found surplus to requirements have been handed over to the Disposal Board. The possibility of leasing tanks temporarily surplus to requirements is always borne in mind, but such occasions are not likely to occur often.
