§ Mr. E. Walkdenasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will promote a claim for priority service for the repair of mineworkers' pit boots and clogs similar to existing arrangements which exist for the Service Ministries and the W.L.A.
§ Mr. DaltonIn view of the present shortage of labour and material, the Services must have priority for their repairs. There is no priority scheme for the Women's Land Army. Repairs must take longer than in peace-time, but I am doing everything possible to reduce delays.
