HC Deb 01 November 1909 vol 12 cc1632-3W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he can state the reason why the advertisement for contracts for supplies to the Royal Irish Constabulary, which appeared in the "Daily Telegraph" newspaper, omitted to give the name of the Dublin Chamber of Commerce as a place where patterns and specifications of the various kinds of materials could be inspected; and whether he can state to what Irish papers an advertisement was given for this Irish contract?

Mr. HALDANE

This question does not concern the War Department, as the contracts are now made by the Inspector-General of the Royal Irish Constabulary.
