HC Deb 14 March 1957 vol 566 cc198-9W
63. Mr. Shinwell

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that no British firm tendered for constructional work on the Australian Snowy River scheme; and if he will draw the attention of British industrialists and contractors to such opportunities in the future, by publishing appropriate notices in his Journal, or otherwise.

Sir D. Eccles

Yes. The United Kingdom industry was informed of calls for tenders for constructional work on this project by my Department in accordance with what has been and will continue to be normal practice.
