Inferior Military Boots Questioned in Parliament
In Parliament Mr Blackburn alleged that boots supplied to the defence authorities were inferior. A boot manufacturer stated the government could not meet specifications at the price offered. Samples from five factories showed spongy upper leather and poor water resistance, compared unfavorably with 1915 boots. Mr White affirmed the defect. Blackburn praised Sir Frederick Stewart for anti profiteering aims but warned against saving at soldiers’ expense.
