§ 85. Major Wiseasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will arrange for the issue of permits to enable roadmen working in rural areas to purchase rubber boots for necessary winter work in ditches in snowy and wet weather.
§ Sir S. CrippsNo, Sir. Surplus A.R.P. boots are now being reconditioned and will very soon be on sale in the shops, permit free, at three coupons a pair. I hope that the needs of roadmen and other outdoor workers will be met in this way.
