§ 75. Colonel Sir ARTHUR HOLBROOKasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he will consider the desirability, when calling for tenders for beef for the Home Command, of limiting the tenders to frozen meat supplied from our own Overseas Dominions or home-grown meat?
§ The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the ADMIRALTY (Lieut.-Colonel Headlam)Apart from local contracts at various home ports where tenders are already restricted to Dominion or home-grown meat, we prefer to adhere to the practice hitherto adopted of inviting tenders from all likely sources and of allowing a substantial preference in price to Dominion or home-grown meat.
