HC Deb 01 November 1939 vol 352 c1961W
Sir R. Clarry

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps manufacturers should adopt in order to be placed on the list of contractors to the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

I am advised that the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes does not maintain a list of contractors as such, but conducts all its purchases in the open market, and that any manufacturer is at liberty to approach the Surveyor of Supplies of the Corporation at the latter's headquarters in London.
