§ Mr. Lipsonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will increase the supply of children's shoes up to size lo in the Cheltenham area as there is a great shortage at present?
§ Mr. DaltonI have made inquiries about the stocks of children's shoes in retail shops in Cheltenham, and find that they are not lower than in other parts of the country. I regret that I cannot see my way to direct special supplies to Cheltenham, as these could only be at the expense of other areas.
§ Mr. Lipsonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will arrange for school children, when helping in farm work, to be supplied with suitable footwear?
§ Mr. DaltonI am taking all possible steps to ensure adequate supplies of strong leather footwear for schoolchildren, and have already increased the proportion of children's sizes in the total output.
