§ MR. WATTI beg to ask the Postmaster - General what was the sum spent on baskets for his Department for use in Scotland; and how much of that sum was placed with Scottish firms with their places of business in Scotland.
§ * MR. SYDNEY BUXTONThe number of baskets required specifically for use in Scotland is very small, only 100 have been asked for this year; and these can be supplied from the general stock. For the general order no tenders were received from any firm in Scotland. Three charitable institutions in Scotland tendered, and I hope I may be able to give an order for trays to one of them.
