HC Deb 02 April 1908 vol 187 c662
Mr. MITCHELL-THOMSON (Lanarkshire, N.W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Admiralty whether he will consider the desirability of asking contractors, when tendring for large contracts for Admiralty works, to state whether they propose to employ British or Foreign granite or cement.

THE SECRETARY TO THE ADMIRALTY (Mr. EDMUND ROBERTSON,) Dundee

I think the hon. Member's suggestion may quite reasonably be included in the category of questions which, in debate on the 10th March, I undertook to consider in connection with the contract for Rosyth.
