HC Deb 25 February 1930 vol 235 c2040
39. Mr. HACKING

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the recent Government instruction to all Departments of State to buy British goods, it is his intention in future to purchase British meat and wheat for the Army?

Mr. SHAW

I would refer the right hon. Member to the reply given to him on 20th February by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister, to which I have nothing to add.

Mr. ALBERY

Has the right hon. Gentleman's attention been drawn to the case of a hospital which obtains money by supplying British wheat?

Mr. SHAW

No. My attention has not been drawn to that. The hon. Member might do it for me.
