HC Deb 30 October 1906 vol 163 c898
MR. CLAUDE HAY

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether any of the soap purchased by the Irish Board of Works for the purposes of that Department has been supplied by any of the firms associated with the soap trust.

THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY (Mr. MCKENNA,) Monmouthshire N.

I am informed that a portion of the soap supplied to the Board by their contractors has been obtained from firms associated with what the hon. Member describes as the "Soap Trust."

MR. CLAUDE HAY

Will the hon. Gentleman take steps to see that no soap is in future supplied by these firms.

MR. MCKENNA

Certainly not.
