§ Sir W. SUGDENasked the Postmaster-General if he will call for details of all electrical and telephonic apparatus and supplies, including cables, needed by his Department; and will he institute inquiries in the electrical industries of this country to ensure that the major supplies of this nature are manufactured in Great Britain instead of, as now, being mainly of foreign origin?
§ Lord WOLMERThe hon. Member is misinformed; more than 99½ per cent. of the electrical apparatus, including cables, purchased by the Post Office last year was manufactured in this country.
