HC Deb 12 August 1966 vol 733 c450W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Minister of Public Building and Works if he is aware that fittings and furniture from county courts in the process of being refurnished are not offered for sale to the public, but are sold to his Department by whom they are burned; and whether he will take steps to stop this wasteful practice.

Mr. Prentice

County court fittings and furniture are the property of my Department; any not suitable for continued use are sold by auction. Only totally valueless furniture is burned.
