HC Deb 17 July 1947 vol 440 cc55-6W
12. Mr. Prescott

asked the President of the Board of Trade if he is aware of the shortage of wide-fitting ladies' shoes with glace kid uppers; and what steps he is taking to remedy this position.

Sir S. Cripps

The manufacturers are encouraged and given all practicable help to make adequate supplies of wide-fitting shoes, but the supply position of glace kid means that at present a proportion of the production must have uppers of other leather. Supplies of glace kid are now improving.
