§ 62. Sir ARTHUR STEEL-MAITLANDasked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in view of the conditions of work in Russian timber camps, he will have a clause inserted in all contracts made by his Department that no Russian timber shall be supplied to or used in articles purchased by his Department?
§ Mr. LANSBURYNo, Sir.
§ Sir A. STEEL-MAITLANDIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that that refusal is contrary to the published policy of his own party?
§ Mr. LANSBURYNo, I am not aware of anything of the kind, and if I am aware of anything it is that it is in accordance with the views of the party.
Commander OLIVER LOCKERLAMPSONIn view of the unsatisfactory nature of those replies, I give notice that I shall ask leave to move the Adjournment of the House on this question.
