HC Deb 29 May 1941 vol 371 c1997
77. Sir T. Moore

asked the President of the Board of Trade what he anticipates will be the restriction on boots and shoes available in the near future for school children in Scotland; and whether he can make any statement on the subject?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Captain Waterhouse)

There is no proposal at present to reduce the supply of leather for the manufacture of children's footwear, the total supplies of which for the United Kingdom as a whole should, therefore, remain at the same level as in 1940.
