HC Deb 24 July 1911 vol 28 c1464
Mr. BECK

asked whether, as the War Office intends, when practicable, to obtain supplies for the troops during the coming manœuvres from those residing within the manœuvre area, he will see that advertisements inviting tenders are inserted in the local newspapers, and that every possible facility is given to farmers, traders, and others to obtain information as to the produce required, and that he will also see that forms of tender are easily available for those desiring to tender?

Colonel SEELY

The Supply and Transport Regulations contain instructions regarding the insertion in local and other papers of such advertisements, setting forth the address of the officer from whom tenders can be obtained, together with full information on the subject.
