HC Deb 13 December 1950 vol 482 c173W
Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary of Sate for Air what steps he has taken to investigate the complaint brought to his notice on the occasion of his recent visit to North Weald, that the socks issued to airmen are all of standard size and too large for men with small feet: and if he will make a statement.

Mr. A. Henderson

Airmen's socks have in the past been stocked in four sizes only, and abnormal sizes have been procured specially to meet needs as they arose. To meet increased demands for abnormal sizes, arrangements are being made to stock three additional sizes.
