HC Deb 15 October 1946 vol 427 c783
18. Mr. Basil Nield

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will now sanction an ordnance issue of pyjamas and handkerchiefs to other ranks serving in B.A.O.R.

Mr. Bellenger

The question of issuing pyjamas and handkerchiefs to men of the three Services is at present being considered by the Service Departments and Board of Trade. I am unable to deal with B.A.O.R. as a special case in advance of the general decision.

Mr. Nield

Can the right hon. Gentleman say if there is not such an issue in the Far East; and does he hold out any hope for the Rhine Army?

Mr. Bellenger

Only as part of the general conclusions which are arrived at.
