HC Deb 19 February 1930 vol 235 c1368
50. Sir NICHOLAS GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether the Crown Agents for the Colonies in placing contracts for supplies give a preference to products of British manufacture; and, if so, of what nature?

Dr. SHIELS

As my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs informed the hon. Member for Woodbridge (Mr. Fison) on the 20th of November last, about 99 per cent. of the orders of the Crown Agents are placed in this country.
