§ 71. Mr. Swinglerasked the Minister of Supply to state, in annual amounts, the value of the surplus stores disposed of overseas in 1946 and 1947; and if he will estimate the value of such stores remaining for disposal.
§ Mr. G. R. StraussThe gross receipts realised by my Department in 1946 and 1947 from the disposal overseas of surplus stores were £95,000,000 and £83,000,000, respectively. I am unable to estimate future receipts, as declarations by the Services are not yet complete.
