§ Viscount WOLMERasked the Secretary of State for War whether any unused Army socks were sold during the year 1921; and, if so, at what price?
Mr. YOUNGI have been asked to answer this question. During 1921 the Disposal Board sold 4¼ (four and one quarter) million pairs of surplus Army socks which were all of out-sizes. Whilst I am not prepared to give the information asked for in the last part of the question, I can assure my Noble Friend that the prices obtained were very satisfactory.
