§ 120. Colonel Clarkeasked the Minister of Supply whether, in view of the shortage of steel scrap, a determined effort will be made to salve the large quantity of ex-Service metal stores still lying around aerodromes and other wartime sites.
§ Mr. J. JonesYes. The Service Departments are making special efforts to increase the transfer of all suitable surplus stores to the Ministry of Supply for scrap. Much of the steel in tanks and other armoured equipment is, however, alloy and is not, therefore, good general scrap.
