HC Deb 18 November 1914 vol 68 c423
46. Mr. BRACE

asked the Under-Secretary for War if he will place upon the Table a complete list of Army contracts given out during the months of July, August, September, and October, indicating the firms to which contracts have been allocated and, where possible, the firms to which contracts have been subcontracted?

Mr. BAKER

I regret that in present circumstances it is not practicable to prepare this Return. I think my hon. Friend will also understand that in some cases it would be contrary to the public interest to give such information.
