HC Deb 31 July 1930 vol 242 c722W
Mr. RAMSBOTHAM

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department the terms under which the Calcutta Corporation decided to give the whole of its contract for gas mantles to Germany, seeing that the larger part of the contract for such mantles had been given to British firms for many years?

Mr. GILLETT

His Majesty's Senior Trade Commissioner in reporting the fact that no part of the contract was awarded to firms in this country did not report the terms upon which the contract was placed.
