HC Deb 22 July 1919 vol 118 c1179W
Mr. F. ROBERTS

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that there is a probable increase in the price of boots by at least 6s. per pair; and, if so, does he propose to take any action in the matter?

Mr. BRIDGEMAN

I cannot say whether the hon. Member is right in his estimate. As regards the last part of the question, I can add nothing to the announcement made by the Leader of the House on 14th July in answer to a question by the Noble Lord the Member for Hitchin.
