HC Deb 20 March 1902 vol 105 cc536-7
MR. ALFRED DAVIES (Carmarthen Boroughs)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he will state what contracts for transports, remounts, and provisions have been entered into during the South African war with Messrs. Houlder, and any companies in which they are known to be interested, together with the amounts respectively paid to each on such contracts; and will he also say what contracts are still outstanding, and the amounts pertaining to them.

MR. BRODRICK

I am not prepared, in reply to a Question, to give the detailed information alluded to. Messrs. Houlder have no contracts with the War Office at present, as all contracts for the carriage of troops are made by the Admiralty.
