HC Deb 05 February 1930 vol 234 cc1921-2W
Major EDMONDSON

asked the Postmaster-General whether the contract for jute twill sacking was placed in this country?

Mr. VIANT

No, Sir. On the occasion of the recent competition the lowest tender for sacking made in Great Britain was disproportionately high, and I awarded the contract to the lowest tenderer who offered sacking made in India.
