HC Deb 10 April 1905 vol 144 c1015
*MR. MOSS

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether any, and if any what, quantity of tins of jam were shipped to South Africa during the war by Messrs. Jones Brothers, of Hobart, Tasmania, and by Messrs. Peacock Brothers, of the same place; and whether these firms or either of them supplied any and what proportion of the 1,350,816 tins referred to in the Report of the Comptroller and Auditor-General as containing twelve ounces only, instead of one pound.

MR. BROMLEY DAVENPORT

Jam from Australia was supplied by H. Jones & Co. and W. D. Peacock & Co., of Hobart, Tasmania. It is impossible to say whether any of the jam supplied by these firms formed part of the 1,350,816 tins referred to.
