HC Deb 05 February 1958 vol 581 c188W
Lieut.-Colonel Bromley-Davenport

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why almost new trailers sold by the United States Air Force at Burtonwood and bought by British dealers are, on the orders of his Department, to be broken up for scrap when such scrap is being bought cheaply by foreigners and sold at normal prices in their own country.

Mr. Simon

The conditions under which these vehicles are offered for sale are prescribed by the United States authorities.
