§ Mr. R. Morganasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the delay which occurs in repairing the boots of soldiers in this country, that many who can ill-afford it are compelled to purchase boots because, of the two free issue pairs, one is often at the repairers, while the soles of the other allow both water and small stones to penetrate; and whether he will investigate the reasons why repairs cannot be more promptly effected?
§ Captain MargessonI am not aware of any undue delay in the repairing of soldiers' boots but I will certainly have inquiries made and I should be glad if my hon. Friend would let me have any particulars which would be of assistance.
