§ Mr. Tinkerasked the Minister of Pensions if he is aware that persons who have lost a leg in war service find a difficulty in getting footwear because they do not want to buy a pair of shoes; and will he make some provision by which they can be accommodated with the one shoe required.
§ Mr. PalingInquiries made by my right hon. Friend do not show that difficulty is generally experienced by amputees in obtaining an additional single shoe provided it is ordered when a pair is purchased, but he is communicating with my right hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade to ascertain whether it is possible to make arrangements for the purchase of a single shoe.
