56. Mr. Andersonasked the Minister of Health whether he will issue a circular to all authorities and institutions which receive a Government grant or allowance, requiring them to refrain from purchasing goods made in Japan and/or tinned foods imported from Japan?
§ The Minister of Health (Mr. Elliot)On more than one occasion, the attention of local authorities has been drawn to the desirability of securing that goods and materials required by them should so far as is practicable be of British manufacture. I fear I have no power to take any further steps.
