HC Deb 15 July 1946 vol 425 c138W
Mr. Byers

asked the President of the Board of Trade if lie is aware of the continuing delay in the production of surgical hoots for civilians; and whether, in particular, he will expedite the provision of such boots for Mr. Cox, Milton Abbas, Dorset, whose application was made to the Surgical Aid Society, Salisbury Street, W.C., 11 months ago, and who has been informed that there is no possibility of providing such boots for some time.

Sir S. Cripps:

With regard to the first part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 8th July to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Spen Valley (Lieut.-Colonel Sharp). With regard to the particular case mentioned in the second part of the Question, I will look into this and see what can be done to help.
