§ LORD BANBURY OF SOUTHAM had given notice to ask His Majesty's Govern merit whether the Southwark Borough Council refused to accept the lowest tender for a printing contract on the ground that some of the employees of the firm tendering were not members of a trade union ; whether they accepted a higher tender, thus causing a loss to the ratepayers of £293 ; whether the district auditor surcharged the Council in this amount, and whether the Government have cancelled the surcharge.
§ The noble Lord said : My Lords, I have a Question down, but, as it is late, I think I had better postpone it until to-morrow.
