SURPLUS TEXTILE CORPORATION (SALES)

HC Deb 23 March 1950 vol 472 cc146-7W

Mr. Llewellyn

asked the Minister of Supply on what date the Directorate of Disposals of his Department ceased to sell household textiles through the medium of the Surplus Textile Corporation; and for what reason.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

Sales to the Corporation ceased at the end of March, 1949, when the greatly reduced volume of surpluses no longer justified special disposal arrangements.
