DR. AMBEOSE (Mayo, W.)To ask the President of the Local Government Board whether tenders for medicines and appliances from Irish druggists and manufacturers will be considered by English boards of guardians; and whether any Irish tenders have ever been refused.
(Answered by Mr. John Burns.) There is nothing in the regulations with respect to tenders to prevent boards of guardians in England and Wales from considering tenders from Irish firms. Whether such tenders have ever been refused I am unable to say.
