§ 20. Mr. Boyd-Carpenterasked the Minister of Health whether he has considered the action of certain local authorities in reducing tenders for work submitted by their own works' departments after seeing lower tenders submitted by private firms; and if he proposes to take any action with respect to this practice.
§ Mr. BevanI am not aware of this action. I should be glad if the hon. Member would supply me with particulars.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterWill the right hon. Gentleman, if supplied with these particulars, give an assurance that he will take action?
