HC Deb 10 June 1931 vol 253 c1006
55. Mr. WOMERSLEY

asked the First Commissioner of Works if it is still the practice of his Department only to place orders for goods with firms which are enrolled on the King's Roll?

Mr. LANSBURY

The principle laid down in the Resolution of this House on the 16th February, 1926, is still followed by my Department.

Mr. WOMERSLEY

Is the First Commissioner of Works aware that recently an order for joinery tools was placed with a Birmingham firm who are not on the King's Roll, and that the offer of other firms who are on the King's Roll was not entertained?

Mr. LANSBURY

If the hon. Member will give me particulars, I will have the matter investigated?
