HC Deb 08 December 1947 vol 445 cc135-6W
114. Mr. Osborne

asked the Minister of Supply if he is aware that the Dulci Company, Limited, in partnership with another, purchased by tender some 43,000 meters from his Department; that full delivery has not been made, as the sixth months' correspondence sent to him indicates; and, in view of the delay, if he is satisfied that his Department has conducted this transaction efficiently.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

These meters were sold as an approximate quantity and the condition of sale provided for the price to be adjusted according to the number actually delivered. This adjustment has already been made and I am satisfied that the transaction was conducted efficiently by my Department.
