HC Deb 03 July 1958 vol 590 c119W
70. Mr. Langford-Holt

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty in what condition eight manganese bronze propellers, sold under Public Tender No. 52706/58/SC1853 (Lot 8), were at the time of the sale; and whether he is satisfield that they were not allowed to deteriorate into a scrap condition before-hand.

Mr. R. Allan

These propellers could only be fitted in M. class destroyers, which are no longer in service. They were, in fact, in serviceable condition at the time of sale, and no complaints have been received from the purchaser.
