HC Deb 15 December 1947 vol 445 c298W
143. Mr. Anthony Greenwood

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to ensure a more adequate supply of clog soles in Radcliffe, Heywood and the surrounding districts.

Mr. Belcher

I have arranged for special priority in suitable timber to be given to clog sole manufacturers, whose requirements are met in full. I have every hope that when the results of certain difficulties last winter are fully overcome, the supply of clog soles, which is already improving, will be substantially better.
