HC Deb 25 March 1948 vol 448 cc352-3W
67. Lady Grant

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will increase the supplies of rubber boots for fish workers, particularly women, in view of the great difficulty in securing supplies.

Mr. H. Wilson

Home production of rubber boots has been steadily increasing and I have taken steps with the trade to ensure that available supplies go to essential users, including fish workers. If the hon. Member would give me further details of a shortage in any particular area, I will look into it.
