HC Deb 28 May 1946 vol 423 c153W
59. Sir F. Sanderson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will present to the House a White Paper setting out all the inventories of factories, machinery, land, docks, ships, wool, cotton, metals, and all other raw materials which have been compiled, with their attendant values.

Mr. Dalton

No, Sir. This would involve much labour, which cannot now be spared. Information about any particular class of assets can be supplied by the responsible Departments, whenever needed for some practical purpose.
