HC Deb 03 April 1947 vol 435 cc342-3W
Mr. Attewell

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the offer for sale, coupon free, of new boots, officers, at 65s. per pair, to the general public; and how such quality boots are available coupon free.

Sir S. Cripps

I am aware that a small quantity of officers' Service boots is being offered for sale, coupon free. To facilitate the rapid disposal of surplus goods, it was decided, as announced in the House on 10th July last, that Government surplus clothing bearing identifying marks should be sold free of coupons.
