HC Deb 06 November 1906 vol 164 cc319-20
*MR. HOOPER

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether a recognised trade union of chainmakers can obtain a copy of the form of tenders for contracts, supplied by the War Office to firms when invited to tender for chain, such firms carrying on business within the district of the trade union.

MR. HALDANE

A recognised trade union can obtain from the War Office a copy of the form of tenders for Army Contracts, on the recommendation of the Parliamentary Committee of the Trade Union Congress. The union to which the hon. Member refers should therefore apply in the first instance to the Secretary of the Parliamentary Committee.
