HC Deb 11 May 1911 vol 25 c1521W
Mr. JAMES THOMAS

asked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that the tenders for the supply of goods and foodstuffs to various regiments stationed at Aldershot are limited to three firms only, and therefore the officers and men are deprived of a free and open choice in the purchase of goods they require; and what action he proposes to take with a view of allowing all traders who are also ratepayers a chance of tendering?

Colonel SEELY

Will the hon. Member kindly refer to the reply given to a question on this subject put by the hon. Member for the St. Patrick's Division of Dublin on the 19th April, to which I have nothing to add?
