HC Deb 04 March 1919 vol 113 cc243-4W
Mr. JOYNSON-HICKS

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether any D.H. 6 aeroplanes have been dismantled; what is the value of the produce of such dismantled machines; and whether he has received any offer for the purchase of such machines at a higher price than the scrap value?

Mr. KELLAWAY

In reply to the first part of the question, so far as the Ministry of Munitions is concerned, no D.H. 6 aeroplanes handed over to the Ministry for disposal have been dismantled; the second part of the question does not therefore arise. In reply to the last part of the question, a verbal offer for the purchase of such machines has been made at a price which is not considered high enough and has been declined.

Forward to
