HC Deb 20 April 1910 vol 16 c2083
Mr. ARBUTHNOT

asked whether the canvas required for the manufacture of mail bags has been ordered from firms who will supply canvas manufactured abroad, as was the case last year, or whether the contracts have been placed with British firms who will supply British-made canvas?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have been able to arrange that all contracts for the supply of canvas required for the manufacture of mail bags during 1910–11 should be placed with British firms, who will supply canvas manufactured in the United Kingdom.
