HC Deb 13 May 1901 vol 93 c1477
MR. WILLIAM JOHNSTON

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether in Stationery Office contracts he will arrange that the Stationery Office shall send on the unworked material, paper, and other articles direct from the mill or warehouse in London to the contractor's works in Cork, Belfast, or Limerick, instead of forwarding them to Dublin, to be thence transferred to Belfast or elsewhere at the cost of the contractor; and whether, as the Dublin contractor at present enjoys a monopoly he will take such measures as will place all parts of Ireland on an equality.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

I must ask my hon. friend to refer to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member for North Donegal on this subject on the 7th instant.* * See Page 956.
