§ Mr. FIELDasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether better facilities can be given to blanket and cloth manufacturing firms in Ireland which contract for supply to the War Office, and have to deal in Dublin with a representative of the Bradford Cloth Department, when the Surveyor-General's Department already exists as an Irish Department for War Office work?
§ Mr FORSTERThe existing facilities place blanket and cloth manufacturers in Ireland in direct touch with the Department of Wool Textile Production, and it is not proposed to make any change in this respect.
