HC Deb 31 January 1957 vol 563 cc222-3W
98. Mr. Dodds

asked the Minister of Health from what sources he inquired about the effect of moulded rubber footwear in respect of foot ailments; and what advice he received on the use of synthetic materials in this connection.

Mr. Vosper

Advice was sought from consultants in dermatology and orthopaedic surgery. No distinction was made in this advice between synthetic materials and natural rubber, or a mixture of the two.
