HC Deb 14 June 1917 vol 94 c1157W
Mr. T. WILSON

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether any arrangements have yet been made to release small leather bends used by boot repairers; and, if so, will he state what the arrangements are?

Mr. FORSTER

It has been decided, in consultation with the Central Leather Supplies Advisory Committee, to release a certain quantity of light bends after the end of June, and a scheme is under consideration which is intended to secure that boot repairers get their fair share. Details of this scheme will be announced as soon as possible.
