§ Sir R. Glynasked the Minister of Supply what is the value of British investments in the Middle East Command arising out of naval, military and air requirements during, the war both as fixed assets and surplus stores; and what sum has been so far realised by local sales.
§ Mr. WoodburnI regret that no complete estimate of the value of Service surpluses and fixed assets in the Middle East Command is yet available. The gross sum realised by the local sale of Service surpluses from April, 1945, to the end of February, 1946, is approximately £4,500,000.
