My son's bicycle gear shifter SHIMANO ST-EF41-L (front 3 speed) malfunctioned (Both levers became free).
I disassembled it and found 3 very small plastic parts on the bottom side of the shifter were broken and the spring ring which attaches the 3 plastic parts to the axle were out of place.
Can anybody suggest where to get these small plastic parts?
Thanks

Broken small plastic pieces suggests it is Unserviceable and needs replacement. Good news is shifters aren't too expensive. Look around for a local bicycle cooperative who may be able to help with used parts.

Buy a new shifter. Shimano does not sell replacement shifter parts, so the only way to get parts is to buy another shifter. And it's a lot easier to replace the old broken shifter with a new one than it is to take apart the new one, remove the needed parts, and reassemble the old shifter with the new parts installed.

Note that most shops seem to sell these shifters as pairs but, if you can find somebody selling just the left shifter, they're pretty cheap: only about £13 ($17US; 15EUR) online. Also, a physical bike shop would probably be willing to split a pair for you since they'll almost certainly be able to sell the other lever to somebody else.
