§ Sir JOHN LENG (Dundee)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will explain the reason for the discontinuance of the practice of posting the names of successful tenderers to the Department.
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. PRETYMAN,) Suffolk, WoodbridgeThe posting of the names of successful tenderers to the Admiralty led to inconvenience, and is now unnecessary, as all firms who may have tendered are informed whether their offers have been accepted or declined.
