HC Deb 19 April 1932 vol 264 c1404
59. Mr. GLEDHILL

asked the Minister of Health if he will take steps to urge upon local authorities the desirability of giving preference to British goods when placing contracts for supplies for grant-aided schemes?

Mr. E. BROWN

Local authorities have already been urged to make use to the utmost extent practicable of goods and materials of home production and, where that is not practicable, to give preference to goods and materials of Empire origin. I will send my hon. Friend copies of the circulars in question.
