HC Deb 25 February 1946 vol 419 cc328-9W
Mr. Molson

asked the Secretary of State for War why the Cotton Control continued to require towels and calico to be printed jungle green until January, 1946, although the Burma campaign had ended in the summer of 1945.

Mr. Bellenger

Instructions were issued at the end of September, 1945, for the production of green towels to cease, but there were at that time certain quantities in process which had to be completed. As troops in S.E.A.C. still wear green clothing, the printing of calico in jungle green has been continued.
