§ Mr. A. Hendersonasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty why, in view of the increased demand for naval stores by reason of naval expansion, surplus naval stores are being sold by auction at the Portsmouth dockyard on Tuesday, 16th May?
§ Mr. ShakespeareNo stores are put up for auction at these sales except such as are of no further use in the Royal Navy, either because they have been superseded by articles of a different design or for other reasons.
