§ MR. FIELD (Dublin, St. Patrick)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Liverpool contractor who holds the Belfast contract for meat is the person chiefly responsible for changing the condition of tender from Home-bred to Home-killed; and whether a Yorkshire farmer obtained this contract, which is supplied by an American firm.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) The Answer to the first part of the Question is in the negative. As regards the second, the contract was obtained by Mr. Boddy, as the hon. Member was informed on the 25th ultimo. The quality of the meat is excellent.
