§ Mr. JOYCEWill the Secretary of State for War state the names of the contractors and their places of business who have been successful during 1909 in obtaining contracts for painting under War Office contracts in Great Britain and Ireland?
§ Mr. HALDANESubject to certain reservations, the names of firms obtaining Army contracts will be published in the monthly "Board of Trade Labour Gazette." In the case of the smaller contracts, which are so numerous that this method of publication would be inconvenient, I hope to arrange for giving the names on application.
§ Mr. JOYCEIs the right hon. Gentleman aware of the manner in which certain contracts were carried out last year by a certain contractor?
§ Mr. HALDANEThat is another matter altogether, and if the hon. Member will put a specific question to me on the subjest, I shall be glad to give him an answer.
