§ Mr. MealeAlthough the Teesside Development Corporation ceased its operational activities at the end of March, it continued in existence until the end of June in order to produce its final report and accounts and wind up its affairs. I understand that the Corporation disposed of its computer equipment during that final three-month period, after inviting competitive bids and having wiped clean the disks, as part of a packaged disposal of its office furniture and equipment.
