§ 39. Mr. H. WILLIAMSasked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been drawn to the decision of the Croydon Guardians in future to include a Clause in their contracts that Empire produce shall be supplied wherever this is possible; and whether he will take steps to draw the attention of other boards of guardians to the desirability of following this example?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINMy attention has not been drawn to the decision of the Croydon Guardians, but that decision is evidently based upon a view which I have more than once communicated to, local authorities. I do not think any further action on my part is necessary.
