CAMP EQUIPMENT ANO MATERIAL
NOT TO HE DISPOSED OF AT PRESENT. WELLINGTON, Doc. 23. There liavo been a lot of applications to the Defence Department for the purchase of building material, clothing, camp equipment, and goods of this sort. The Minister of Defence said today that those applications were evidently based on the assumption that the camps and the buildings were going to be finally broken up. So far as the Defence Department was concerned, there would be no sale of building material or of clothing, except of condemned wastage, for a considerable time to come, or at least until a future policy with regard to Territorial requirements and training had been deckled upon. )‘Wo are in the happy position,” said the Minister, ‘‘of having only such a surplus of clothing and equipment as we can easily absorb into the future requirements of the Forces, without re.course to the wholesale disposal which seems to have taken place in other parts of the Empire.”
