HC Deb 27 November 1945 vol 416 c1243W
Flight-Lieutenant Teeling

asked the Secretary of State for War whether barrack stores returned, as redundant to present requirements, into ordnance depots, can be made immediately available for public purchase; and, if it is not possible, whether he will give the reasons for any further delay.

Mr. Lawson

Surpluses are notified to the disposal authorities as soon as they arise. But the change from field service to barrack scales will mean very heavy withdrawals from stock and the surpluses may not be very large.
