HC Deb 26 April 1920 vol 128 c890W
Mr. PALMER

asked the First Commissioner of Works whether, in the improvement and rebuilding of post and telephone offices throughout the country, preference is given in the matter of tenders to local contractors?

Sir A. MOND

Competitive tendering is the system adopted for this class of work, and the lowest tender is accepted from whatever district it may come, provided it complies with the conditions.
