HC Deb 29 January 1951 vol 483 c56W
25 and 26. Mr. Redmayne

asked the Minister of Supply (1) what he estimates to be the replacement cost per yard of green sandfly netting, 108 inches wide, sold at Didcot on 18th January, 1951;

(2) what was the original cost each of curtain sandfly nets single bar sold at Didcot on 18th January, 1951.

Mr. G. R. Strauss

No sandfly netting has been bought since the war and I do not expect to be asked to make further purchases. I cannot, without undue expenditure of time by my Department, tell the hon. Member what each of these nets cost, but he may be interested to know that the sale of the surplus netting realised£140,000.
