§ 14. Mr. Bossomasked the Minister of Supply and of Aircraft Production if he will cause rubber boots for farm workers in Kent to be more rapidly available than is at present the case.
§ Sir S. CrippsI have been asked to reply. I have no evidence of any delay recently in the supply of rubber boots to farm workers, but if the hon. Member has any particular case in mind, I shall be pleased to look into it.
§ Mr. BossomIs the Minister aware that I know a farm worker who required some rubber boots last January, that it took him four months to get the permit, and that he has not got the boots yet? Is there any chance of his getting them soon?
§ Sir S. CrippsIf the hon. Gentleman will send me particulars of the case, I will have it looked into as promised.
