HC Deb 05 August 1924 vol 176 c2777W
Sir A. SHIRLEY BENN

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in contracts affecting the Treasury, such as the Arapuni power scheme, where there are a number of sub-contracts concerning various branches of the engineering or other industries, it is the policy of His Majesty's Government to insist that the whole contract shall be placed in the United Kingdom or whether it permits sub-constracts to be placed in foreign countries provided that the head contractor shall be a British firm?

Mr. SNOWDEN

I would refer the hon. Member to the answer given by me to the hon. Member for Macclesfield (Mr. Remer) on this subject this afternoon.
