GOVERNMENT STORES
PREFERENCE FOR LOCAL INDUSTRIES
“The policy of granting preference to local and British industries has been maintained and strengthened,” stated the annual report of the Stores Control Board presented to Parliament yesterday. The report mentioned that as a rule tender schedules specified that the goods offered must be of British manufacture, and the exceptions to the rule were rare and negligible in value. New Zealand manufacturers received a greater degree of preference than other British manufacturers, and as regarded prices were in a very favourable position when competing with oversea suppliers. It was stated that £4,199,822 represented the expenditure on stores for tTie Departments for the year. Railways (£1,951,127) and Public Works (£928,6087 bad the lion’s share.
