HC Deb 30 June 1947 vol 439 c128W
132. Mr. Osborne

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to meet the demand for rubber boots for farm workers in North Lincolnshire; and how soon does he expect supplies to meet the urgent demands.

Mr. Belcher

The production of men's Wellingtons is steadily improving and supplies are being supplemented by disposals of Government surplus boots. I am arranging for a special investigation to see that North Lincolnshire is getting its fair share.
