§ Sir J. POWERasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether it is the practice of His Majesty's Stationery Office to purchase any classes of German machinery for the printing works under their control?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEThe only machines of German manufacture which have been purchased by His Majesty's Stationery Office for the printing works under their control during recent years are automatic feeders for printing machines. I may say that the one machine of similar type made in England is that of an American firm, the cost of which is about double that of the German machine.
