HC Deb 01 April 1919 vol 114 cc1055-6
32. Brigadier-General CROFT

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether his attention has been called to the fact that Army boots have been sold as waste product at the price of 4d. per pair, and that it was estimated that half of them were capable of repair, and were subsequently sold at 14s. and 15s. per pair in shops; and what steps he proposes to take?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of MUNITIONS (Mr. James Hope)

I have been asked to reply to this question. At present I have not sufficient information to answer my hon. and gallant Friend's question, but if he will give me particulars I shall be glad to have inquiries made.
