§ Mr. Nobleasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if, in light of the Government decision to buy British textiles, he will instruct his Department to purchase only tyres which include British-made tyre cord.
§ Mr. Merlyn ReesPresent purchasing arrangements already ensure that almost all tyres purchased by my Department are British made. I would not regard it as practicable to attempt to stipulate the composition of the tyres.
