HC Deb 23 June 1947 vol 439 c1W
4. Mr. McEntee

asked the Minister of Supply if he will arrange for information to be supplied to officers of local authorities that apply for it, in regard to material and equipment which is surplus to Government requirements and is suitable for building and maintenance of council houses and public buildings.

Mr. Wilmot

Arrangements were made some time ago for local authorities to be informed of surpluses in their areas, and given an opportunity of acquiring them before normal disposal action takes place.
