HC Deb 29 March 1983 vol 40 c103W
22. Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he is satisfied with the quality of footwear issued to Her Majesty's forces.

Mr. Ian Stewart

All footwear is continually under review to see what advantages can be derived from improved materials or manufacturing techniques. Because of certain shortcomings in the Army's directly moulded sole boot a new combat high boot is currently being introduced.
