§ Sir S. CrippsNo, Sir. I am not aware of any such waste of new rubber boots; but if the hon. Member can give me any detailed information, I will certainly look into the matter immediately.
§ Mr. SutcliffeIs the right hon. and learned Gentleman aware that there were very large quantities of new boots, some of them marked "Dunlop"? I will do my best to produce some for him.
