HC Deb 22 March 1911 vol 23 c549W
Mr. LANSBURY

asked the Secretary to the Treasury if he is now able to state how many contracts are at present in existence between Government Departments and private firms, together with their money value, for which competitive prices or tenders were not received?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

I am making inquiries on the subject, but I am not yet in a position to state their result.
