§ Mr. L. SMITHasked the First Lord of the Admiralty if he can give an undertaking that, when contracts for fuel oil are being considered for the future requirements of His Majesty's Navy, a definite proportion of creosote oil will be purchased with a view to assisting home industry in this connection?
§ Sir A. CHAMBERLAINWhile it is not practicable to give the undertaking suggested, my hon. Friend may rest assured that when future requirements of fuel oil are in question full consideration will be given to the possibility of including some creosote oil.
