HC Deb 12 March 1872 vol 209 c1853
MR. R. N. FOWLER

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, Whether he has any objection to advertise the Contracts for the Clothing of the Boys of Her Majesty's Training Ship "Ganges," so that the local contractors may have an opportunity of competing?

MR. SHAW LEFEVRE

said, in reply, these contracts for training ships were made by the commanders, and in the case of the Ganges he did not see any reason why the rule should be departed from.
