WAR OFFICE MEAT CONTRACT.
• Press Association —Copyright. London, February 20. In the House of Commons, MrE. Hunt enquired whether Mr Haldane would give the colonies the first chance in the next contract for tinned meat, as there had been no complaints regarding their methods of manufacture and packing 1 Air T. R. Buchanan, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said tenders had been, from time to time, accepted from colonial firms, in anticipation of increased demand and in view of the Chicago revelations, and, as it was the Government’s desire to widen the area of supply, a special officer will be despatched to Australasia to report on the capacity of the colonies to give a larger supply than at present.
