HC Deb 04 February 1975 vol 885 c489W
Mr. Hoyle

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) what is the total value of textile goods purchased by his Department during the past 12 months;

(2) what percentage of textile goods, over the last 12 months, has been purchased from British manufacturers by his Department;

(3) if he will instruct his Department to purchase all future textile requirements from British manufacturers.

Mr. William Ross

No separate figures are available for purchase of textile goods, but purchases are estimated at under £1 million. All purchases were made through other Departments or from British sources, but there could be circumstances in which purchases from other sources might be justifiable.
