§ Mr. J. Dugdaleasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in considering the allotment of coupons for the purchase of boots, he will take into account the special circumstances of men working in iron foundries and other places where footwear is subjected to great heat and is, in consequence, liable to wear out very rapidly?
§ Sir A. DuncanYes, Sir. Exceptional wear and tear of boots in any particular occupation is taken into account in determining claims for supplementary clothing coupons for workers in that trade.
