HC Deb 27 April 1926 vol 194 c1827
26. Sir FREDERICK RICE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that many of the soldiers in the Army are buying safety razors, as they are unable to use the long-handled, unprotected type issued; and whether he will consider the advisability of authorising an alternative issue of safety razors?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Captain Douglas King)

The question of issuing safety razors to the troops in lieu of the long-handled type is already under consideration.

Sir HARRY BRITTAIN

Will my hon. and gallant Friend see that these razors and razor blades are made in England?

Captain KING

That is obviously one of the points for consideration.
