§ Mr. D. ADAMSasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he is aware that a firm of cartage contractors holding a contract with his Department has recently been convicted of serious breaches of Clause 19 of the Road Traffic Act, 1930; and if he will take this matter into account when inviting tenders for new cartage contracts or renewing existing contracts?
Sir B. EYRES MONSELLNo, Sir. This information has not come to my knowledge. If, however, the hon. Member will be good enough to furnish me with the name of the firm and details of the breach, I shall be glad to inquire into the matter.
