HC Deb 26 October 1899 vol 77 c729
SIR FORTESCUE FLANNERY (Yorkshire, Shipley)

I beg to ask whether there is any truth in the statement that in the case of the supplies to colonial troops important English orders for woollen blankets, socks, and various articles of underclothing have been given to manufacturers in several German towns.

MR. POWELL-WILLIAMS

No, Sir; there is no truth whatever in that statement.
