HC Deb 03 October 1944 vol 403 c758W
Viscount Suirdale

asked the President of the Board of Trade to what markets outside the United Kingdom permission to export footwear is being granted at the present time; and whether he will consider making some allocation of footwear to distributors in Newfoundland.

Captain Waterhouse

Exports of foot-wear have had to be severely restricted and are practically confined to New Zealand and the British Colonies. So long as the present shortage continues, I regret that I cannot make an allocation to Newfoundland.
