§ CAPTAIN NORTONTo ask the Secretary of State for War if he can give the 1356 names of the firms previously struck off the list of Government contractors which were restored to that list during the period of the late South African War.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Arnold-Forster.) Three firms previously struck off the War Office headquarters list of contractors were restored to that list during the South African War. But seeing that their work was satisfactory, I am reluctant to do them possible injury by stating their names in public. I will give them to the hon. and gallant Member privately, if he so desires.
