HC Deb 25 July 1910 vol 19 cc1905-6W
Mr. HACKETT

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he was aware that Patrick Grant, Drombane, Thurles, county Tipperary, was appointed contractor for repairs to the military barracks, Limerick, in April, 1907; that Grant completed his contract within the specified time and to the satisfaction of the chief engineer, and was paid the full amount of his contract; and will he explain why Grant received a letter in April, 1908, informing him that his name was removed from the list of contractors?

Mr. HALDANE

In consequence of the unsatisfactory manner in which Mr. Grant executed the contract placed with him in 1907 it was decided that he should not be entrusted with further orders and his name was therefore removed from the list of contractors.
