HC Deb 07 March 1916 vol 80 c1385W
Colonel MILDMAY

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, in view of the fact that the Inventions Board of the Ministry of Munitions has reported favourably on the Rodborough boot as a substantial improvement on the Regulation boot, it may be possible to contrive that its issue shall not be barred by previously existing contracts?

Mr. H. FORSTER

The Rodborough boot is not considered suitable for military purposes.
