Mr. Vaneasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on what basis he disposed of the plant and equipment of the North German Timber Control when it ceased operations; how much was returned to this country; and to whom it was sold.
§ Mr. MayhewThat part of the plant and equipment of the North German Timber Control, the cost of which is recoverable eventually from the German66W economy, is being retained in Germany. Part is being returned to the British Army of the Rhine. The remainder has been handed over the Ministry of Supply for use by their Scrap Recovery Organisation in Germany or for disposal as surplus. Over 400 tractors are in course of being returned by the Ministry of Supply to the United Kingdom for sale, but have not yet been sold.
