§ Mr. Kirbyasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether he has considered the request from the Liverpool, Birkenhead, and Wirral districts Building and Allied Employers' Association that its members should be allowed to tender 366W on all occasions for any building work being undertaken by his department; and will he state the nature of his reply, having in mind the heavy degree of unemployment in Liverpool and district, and the fact that members of this association have much plant not in use?
§ Mr. ShakespeareThe Admiralty maintain a list of firms eligible to tender for building works but requirements for such works in the Liverpool area are small. The Secretary of the Association referred to in the question has, however, been informed that if any of his members who wish to be included in the Admiralty list will write to the Admiralty, giving the necessary particulars, their applications will receive consideration.
