asked the First Lord of the Admiralty how many Phoenix units of Mulberry harbours are available for which no useful purpose has so far been found; and if he will allow one of these units to be used to improve the harbour at Annalong, County Down.

:I have been asked to reply. Five units are available in the United Kingdom for disposal, which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Supply and Aircraft Production. My Department has already been approached on years 1941–42, 1943–44, and also for the first half of 1945.

Following are the figures requested:
