HC Deb 25 February 1957 vol 565 cc124-5W
84. Mr. J. Harrison

asked the Minister of Supply, when disposing of surplus stores at the Ruddington Depot, and in view of the low prices paid recently for these goods, to what extent it is customary, as in most public auction sales, to impose reserve prices and the right of withdrawal of the goods, when the price becomes unreasonably low.

Mr. Aubrey Jones

The Ministry of Supply places reserves on some lots and reserves the right to withdraw any lot.
