HC Deb 27 July 1891 vol 356 cc407-8
MR. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM (Lanark, N.W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if the coal supplied to Maker Fort, Tregantle Fort, and Picklecombe Fort by Messrs. Harvey is North Country or Scotch; if the contract with Messrs. Harvey calls for North Country or Scotch coal; and if he would make inquiries into the truth of the allegation that Scotch and not North Country coal has been supplied by Messrs. Harvey?

*MR. E. STANHOPE

The contract with Messrs. Harvey with regard to the supply of coal to Maker Fort, Tregantle Fort, and Picklecombe Fort, is for North Country coal; and, on inquiry, it is reported to me that such coal has been duly supplied.

Forward to
