§ 90. Mr. NEEDHAMasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office if, in future purchases of sand bags, he will buy bags made from cotton sacking in competition with bags made from other materials?
Mr. BAKERThe usual War Office specification provides for jute bags, but contractors have recently been given the option of suggesting alternatives. Sand bags made from cotton sacking will receive full consideration, but it cannot be traced that any have yet been offered.
