§ 6. Sir Henry Morris-Jonesasked the Minister of Labour what complaints he has received from reception areas of the shortage of boot and shoe repairers for the increased population; and whether he can arrange for trained disabled men to be sent to these areas to supplement the present inadequate facilities?
§ Mr. BevinI have had no complaints from reception areas of a shortage of boot and shoe repairers for the increased population, but I am aware that there is a shortage of repairers generally; the possibility of training disabled persons for boot and shoe repairing is under consideration.
