§ Mr. Marlowasked the Lord President of the Council why it is not the practice to disclose the names of suppliers to the House; and whether he will change the practice.
§ Mr. Charles IrvingI have been asked to reply.
Suppliers to the Refreshment Department are required to undertake not to make use for advertising purposes of the fact that they supply the House of Commons. To disclose the names of suppliers would conflict with this policy, which it is intended to maintain.
