HC Deb 15 December 1925 vol 189 c1196
99. Sir PARK GOFF

asked the Minister of Transport whether, before granting money for road work for unemployment schemes to any public authority, he will inquire whether they intend to use foreign slag?

Colonel ASHLEY

It is a condition of all grants towards road works expedited for the relief of unemployment that all contracts for works, materials, etc., must be placed in this country, unless my approval to the contrary is obtained. I do not consider it necessary to make the special inquiry suggested by my hon. Friend.
