HC Deb 08 May 1911 vol 25 c1004W
Mr. FIELD

asked the Postmaster-General whether he is aware that Irish manufacturers are refused the opportunity of tendering for the supply of cloths for uniforms in Dublin; that there are no facilities for testing the materials in Dublin city; and that suitable testing plant is available, being idle in the depot of the Royal Irish Constabulary; and whether he will arrange to have the Post Office uniform cloths tested by this plant?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

If arrangements can be made for testing cloth in Dublin without undue expense, I will accept delivery of cloth there.
