HC Deb 01 June 1943 vol 390 c41W
Mr. Rhys Davies

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that it is difficult in some parts of the country to purchase ladies' shoes except in size five; and will he take steps to remedy this.

Mr. Dalton

As I informed my hon. Friend the Member for East Fife (Mr. Henderson Stewart) last Tuesday, in view of the limited amount of raw material available, I cannot hold out any hopes of an increase in the total supplies of civilian footwear. But I have had little complaint about the matter to which my hon. Friend refers.
