HC Deb 15 November 1944 vol 404 c1980W
Mr. Bartlett

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that dealers in Somerset are unable to supply size seven children's shoes for at least two months to come; and to what extent leather now made available for adults can be diverted for the more important needs of children.

Mr. Dalton

I have had no report of such a shortage, but if my hon. Friend will let me have details I will have the matter investigated. With regard to the second part of the Question, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Ripon (Major York) on 24th October.
