§ *MR. HOOPER (Dudley)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether a recognised trade union of chainmakers can obtain a copy of the form of tenders for contracts supplied by the Admiralty to firms when invited to tender for chain, cables, rigging, and pitch or block chains, such firms carrying on business within the district of the trade union.
MR. EDMUND BOBERTSONThe trade union referred to can obtain a copy of the form of tenders for naval contracts on the recommendation of the Parliamentary Committee of the Trade Union Congress. The union should therefore apply in the first instance to the Secretary of the Parliamentary Committee.
