§ Mr. BOWERMANasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that instructions have recently been issued by the secretary of the Territorial Forces Association, County of London, to the effect that orders for printing work must in future be given only to Government contractors, thereby depriving private firms of work which in some instances they have satisfactorily executed for over a quarter of a century; and whether such instructions have received the endorsement of the War Office?
§ Mr. HALDANEThe associations have a free hand to select the firm to do their printing. The War Department have made arrangements for such printing to be done through the Stationery Office by the Government contractors if the Associations prefer to take that course.
