§ MR. J. W. LOGAN (Leicester, Harborough)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for India if a large order for cardigan jackets, to be supplied to the Army in India, has been given to a Leipsic firm; and, if so, what was the reason for sending such an order out of this country at a time of severe depression in Home industries?
§ MR. H. H. FOWLERNo stores for the Government of India can be ordered in Europe except through the India Office; and no order for cardigan jackets has been issued from the India Office since May, 1892, when a contract for the supply of such jackets was entered into with a Leicester firm.
