§ 86. Mr. P. Wellsasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware of the shortage of grey lisle stockings which are an essential part of a nurse's uniform; and whether he will take steps to increase the supply.
§ Mr. BottomleyI know that warm and durable stockings are at present less easy to obtain than light weight stockings, and I am endeavouring to correct this. But I am afraid that I cannot undertake to increase supplies of one particular type or colour for nurses.
