HC Deb 19 March 1912 vol 35 c1698
Mr. GOLDSMITH

asked whether, in the forthcoming military manœuvres in the Eastern Counties, the supplies required for the troops would, as far as possible, be obtained from local fanners and traders; and, if so, whether forms of tender would be obtained by those desiring to tender?

Colonel SEELY

Instructions will be issued as last year that supplies required for the troops engaged in this year's manœuvres shall, as far as practicable, or when prices admit, be obtained from the locality in which the troops are employed. The requirements will be advertised in suitable local and other papers, and forms of tender will be obtainable on application to the General Officer Commanding either of the commands concerned.
