Hawkers agreed to purchase 20 starter relay switches which we had redundant. When they looked into this matter further it was found that this was not possible as the parts are embodiment loan. This applied to the other contractors also. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst now informs us that there are no redundant switches as he requires those in stock for test etc. This is to confirm conversation with Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst that further switches on order have been cancelled and that no further action is required in this matter.
