HC Deb 17 March 1919 vol 113 c1752W
Major LLOYD-GREAME

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether the Surplus Government Property Disposal Board can arrange for the depots at Catford, Kempton Park, and Camberwell to be open until 8 P.M. on Saturdays, or, alternatively, until some later hour than noon, in order to afford more convenient facilities for inspection of cars by intending purchasers?

Mr. KELLAWAY

The depots in question are under the control of the Army Council. I am approaching the War Office with a view to ascertaining whether the depots could be kept open till a later hour on Saturdays than is at present the case.

Major LLOYD-GREAME

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Munitions whether it is possible for the Surplus Government Property Disposal Board to supply to intending purchasers catalogues showing what cars are ready for inspection at the depots at Catford, Kempton Park, and Camberwell, in order to obviate the necessity of such intending purchasers paying continual visits to depots?

Mr. KELLAWAY

Any general list of cars for disposal must rapidly become out of date us the sales proceed, but catalogues of cars for disposal at any particular sale are available for intending purchasers on inquiry of the Controller of the Mechanical Transport Department, Grosvenor Place.
