§ Mr. HURDasked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether anything in the contract regulations of his Department precludes the purchase of condensed milk from the United States of America, for consumption in the Royal Navy; and, if not, what quantities of condensed milk have been purchased during the past 12 months from American sources?
§ Mr. AMERYSupply from the United States of America is not specifically precluded in the conditions of Admiralty contracts, which, however, stipulate a standard of quality with which condensed milk produced in the United States of America does not ordinarily conform. No supplies have been purchased from American sources during the past 12 months.
