HC Deb 15 December 1936 vol 318 c2267
28. Sir W. SMILES

asked the Secretary of State for War the approximate average weekly stoppages from a soldier's pay on account of extra uniform and kit?

Mr. COOPER

I am unable to give the specific figure for which my hon. and gallant Friend asks, but the question as to how far soldiers, and in particular recruits, can be relieved of the expense of purchasing certain articles is receiving careful consideration.
