HC Deb 09 December 1925 vol 189 c451
69. Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Health whether any representations have been made to local authorities urging upon them the necessity for giving expression to the principle of encouraging home and Empire trade?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of HEALTH (Sir Kingsley Wood)

Circulars on this subject were sent to local authorities from the Ministry of Health in May, 1923, and March of this year, and jointly by the President of the Board of Trade and my right hon. Friend in October last. I am sending copies to the hon. and gallant Member.

Colonel DAY

Will the hon. Gentleman circularise them again before the end of the year?

Sir K. WOOD

No, Sir; the last communications have only recently been sent.
