HC Deb 08 December 1925 vol 189 c232
29. Mr. RAMSDEN

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the Report of the Imperial Economic Committee, which shows that the self- governing Dominions purchase British goods per capita to the extent of £6 17s. 3d. as against Europe 12s. Id., South America 18s., and the United States of America 8s. 6d., he is prepared to arrange for the use of Dominion supplies in the Army in preference to foreign supplies?

Captain KING

It, is the practice of the War Office, in purchasing supplies for the Army, to give effective preference to Dominion products over those of foreign origin.
