§ 90. Mr. FIELDasked 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.
