§ 80. Mr. FELLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if any contracts have been or are about to be let for works at Cromarty; and, if so, will the condition be imposed in the contracts that the material to be used must be granite from the United Kingdom and not from Norway?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAA contract has recently been let for certain work at Cromarty, but the nature of the work will not necessitate the use of granite.
§ Mr. FELLMay I ask whether in any contract entered into we shall not have the Rosyth scandal repeated again?
§ Dr. MACNAMARAThere will not be any granite in this contract. When we do want granite we shall follow the policy of the past and get the cheapest and best.
