§ 41. Sir T. Mooreasked the President of the Board of Trade how many pairs of children's shoes and boots were manufactured in England in 1928 as compared with the year 1948.
§ Mr. H. WilsonIn the first five months of 1948, 16,429,000 pairs of children's boots, shoes and sandals, with leather uppers, were manufactured in England. I regret that comparable figures for 1928 are not available, but the present figure is some 30 per cent. above 1935.
