HC Deb 29 May 1946 vol 423 c207W
103. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that at the R.A.F. dump at Standlake, materials and products are available which could be sold to the public to advantage since many of them are unobtainable in the shops; and if he will arrange for these goods to be offered for sale to the public.

Mr. Leonard

The material at this Depot is mainly light metal scrap from aircraft, and aircraft parts and accessories generally unsuitable for further use. These parts and accessories are, however, carefully sorted to recover any which may be usable. The light metal then goes to furnaces for smelting to secondary ingot for use in aluminium house parts and for other industrial purposes.

Forward to
