§ 96. Mr. J. Harrisonasked the Minister of Supply if his attention has been drawn to the low prices that are being paid for such articles as razor blades, worsted material, flannelette and transport vehicle parts at his Department's depot at Ruddington, Nottingham; and what steps he is taking to obtain better prices for these articles, thereby reducing an avoidable waste of Government property.
§ Mr. Aubrey JonesThe value of surplus stores depends on their age and condition and the demand for them. Public auction is the most satisfactory way of securing the best competitive price. I cannot agree that there is any avoidable waste.
