HC Deb 06 March 1922 vol 151 c888W
Captain TERRELL

asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether any settled policy exists in the matter of giving preference to food and manufactured commodities of home production required for consumption by naval forces at home stations?

Commander EYRES-MONSELL

It is the policy of the Admiralty to accord a definite preference in price to products of the British Empire in contracts for the commodities mentioned in the question, except in the case of certain articles where the use of foreign material is entirely excluded.
