HC Deb 14 November 1918 vol 110 c2855
90. Mr. FIELD

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether better arrangements will be made in connection with Irish hosiery contracts in Ireland to avoid the necessity of contractors having to deal with a Department in Edinburgh; and whether this work will be entrusted to a Department in Ireland where competent hosiery inspectors and finance inspectors could be employed to deal with the work expeditiously?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Forster)

Arrangements have already been made for a representative of the Department of Wool Textile Production to be stationed in Ireland for the purpose of dealing with manufacturers in Ireland of hosiery. He will proceed to Ireland shortly.
