TINNED MEAT.
Received Last Night, 9.41 o'clock. LONDON, February 20. In the House of Commons Mr R. Hunt, inquired whether Mr R. B. Haldane would give the colonies the first chance of the next contract for tinned meat, as there had been no complaints regarding the colonial methods of manufacture and packing. Mr T; R. Buchanan, Financial Secretary of the Treasury, said that tenders had been from time to time accepted from colonial firms. In anticipation of an 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 would be despatched to Australasia to report on the capacity of the colonies to give a larger supply than at present.
