Sir R. Clarry

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Supply what is the present position in respect of the further tests of an Army boot preservative referred to in the Eleventh Report of the Select Committee on National Expenditure?

Mr. Harold Macmillan

The Select Committee on National Expenditure in their Eleventh Report agreed with the Department's proposal that it was desirable to test this treatment in summer weather and arrangements have been made accordingly. The Army have now been supplied with the necessary boots to carry out the tests.
