§ Mr. Lowasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty what is the total tonnage of R.N. stores and equipment now in Palestine; and how much of that is to be evacuated by R.N. ships, by other ships and by railway, respectively, before August, 1948.
§ Mr. W. EdwardsThe total tonnage of R.N. stores and equipment now in Palestine is of the order of 7,000 tons. It is hoped to remove all these stores in Royal Fleet Auxiliaries before August, 1948, with the possible exception of certain non-warlike stores which will become redundant and which may be disposed of locally.
