HC Deb 22 August 1945 vol 413 c619W
Major York

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he will take immediate steps to relieve the shortage of children's shoes, particularly sizes 6 to 12.

Mr. Ellis Smith

The production of children's leather shoes has for two years been greater than it was before the war; and we shall see that it continues to increase as fast as labour and materials will allow. We are also taking steps to increase the production of children's rubber footwear.
