§ Mr. EVELYN CECIL (Aston Manor)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether the heads of departments in the Admiralty have been notified that the words "Goods to be of British manufacture and material" are not to appear in any specifications issued to contractors.
§ MR. EDMUND ROBERTSONNo, sir.
§ MR. ARTHUR LEE (Hampshire, Fareham)Do I understand that those British manufacturers who have hitherto enjoyed this measure of protection against foreign competition will continue to do so in the future?
§ MR. EDMUND ROBERTSONNo alterations have been made or are in contemplation. That is all I can say.
