§ Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware that instructions have recently been issued that printing for county courts throughout the country, now being done by local firms, is in future to be done at the State printing works at Harrow, which will entail considerable expense in the re-setting or alteration of forms now standing, and therefore a very heavy loss to the taxpayer; and whether he will recall these instructions?
§ Mr. BALDWINThe simplification and standardisation of all county court forms is at present under consideration by the Departments concerned, and notice of termination of the existing contracts for the supply of these forms has been given as regards London and Birmingham. No further arrangements have as yet been made, but I can assure the hon. and2956W gallant Member that the question of cost will be one of the primary considerations in connection with any new arrangement that may be made.
