§ Major Yorkasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will, when increasing the quality of children's shoes, at the same time increase the quantity available, and more particularly in the smaller sizes.
§ Mr. DaltonYes, Sir. I have deliberately increased the output of children's leather shoes, at the expense of adults' footwear, and their production is now greater than before the war. Supplies of 47W leather are still very short, but I am glad to say that traders' stocks of children's shoes, of all sizes, have increased during the last twelve months.
