HC Deb 08 April 1946 vol 421 c249W
3. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Supply whether any steps are being taken to dispose of the large stock of Wellington boots now stored at the royal ordnance factory, Bridgend, in the B.S.I. stores.

Mr. Wilmot:

All stocks of Wellington boots were cleared from the Royal Ordnance Factory, Bridgend, some time ago. The building referred to was handed over to the Trading Estate on 6th March.

4. Mr. G. Thomas

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware of the wholesale burning of discarded books and furniture at the royal ordnance factory, Bridgend; and whether he will take steps 6 end this practice.

Mr. Wilmot:

The only books and furniture which have been destroyed by burning are those so contaminated by explosive that they cannot be rendered fit for normal use.
