HC Deb 19 March 1936 vol 310 cc638-9W
Mr. McENTEE,

asked the Minister of Health whether his attention has been called to the action of the Henley-on-Thames Town Council in refusing to throw open to public tender the supply of lubricating oil, thus causing unnecessary outlay to the ratepayers; and whether he will investigate the circumstances of this transaction?

Sir K. WOOD

No, Sir. Prima facie the transaction referred to is not one in which I have power to intervene.
