HC Deb 27 February 1917 vol 90 c1844
39. Mr. O'GRADY

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether there is any condition in respect to Government contracts that differentiate between firms of British nationality and firms constituted of naturalised British subjects who are alien friends; and, if there is no such differentiation will steps; be taken to make the matter clear in any forms issued to firms tendering, or asked to tender, for such contracts?

Mr. ROBERTS

This is a matter for the consideration of the various Departments which place contracts, and I think my hon. Friend would do well to communicate with them.
