§ 23. Sir A. M. SAMUELasked the Minister of Health if he will issue a circular to local public authorities recommending them to give preference in specifications to such Indian, Australian and Nigerian hardwoods as are suitable and in abundant supply?
Sir H. YOUNGLocal 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 circulars that have been issued.
§ Mr. REMERWill my right hon. Friend take into consideration, not only the three countries referred to in the question, but other timber-producing countries in the Empire?
