HC Deb 03 December 1945 vol 416 c1902
32. Mr. Manningham-Buller

asked the Minister of Supply and of Aircraft Production if he will state the number of pairs of boots and shoes which will require to be manufactured by 1st June, 1946, for supply to those being demobilised.

Mr. Wilmot

During the nine months ending on 30th June next we need to make 2,250,000 pairs of shoes for supply to those being demobilised.

Mr. Manningham-Buller

Is the Minister satisfied that leather is available for this production and can that leather be procured, priority being given over production for civilian requirements?

Mr. Wilmot

I think the answer to that is "Yes,'' but perhaps the hon. Member will put it down, if he would like particulars.
