HC Deb 17 November 1908 vol 196 cc1030-1
MR. PIKE PEASE (Darlington)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Admiralty whether the Admiralty considers quotations for granite from foreign and home producers on equal terms.

MR. McKENNA

The answer to the hon. Member's Question is in the affirmative.

* MR. CARLILE (Hertfordshire, St. Albans)

In view of the terrible state of unemployment obtaining up and down the country, will the right hon. Gentleman undertake that all Admiralty requisites shall be bought here, the price being reasonable?

MR. McKENNA

I can give no such undertaking.
