2. Mr. Beswick

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will re-impose price controls in boots and shoes and the repair of boots and shoes, in view of the fact that these prices have not fallen with the price of leather

Mr. P. Thorneycroft

No. I am satisfied that conditions in the footwear manufacturing industry and the footwear repair trade are fully competitive.
