LIFTING JACKS.
------------

In Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Lidl/MJ.19.11.31. you say that you can purchase a set of Jackall Hydraulic Jacks for approximately £14.0.0.

Will you kindly let us know where you obtained this figure?

Smiths have quoted us £16.16.0. less 25% and 10%, and £4.4.0. as the approximate nett cost of fitting. In other words, they want us to pay about £15.10.0. nett.

It seems that they have quoted you very much more favourable terms, and we would like to investigate why there is such a big difference.
