HC Deb 26 April 1938 vol 335 cc5-6
10. Mr. De la Bère

asked the Secretary of State for War what steps the War Office are taking to ensure that Territorial soldiers who have been enlisted for a period of over six months and who are going into annual summer training shall have supplied to them the necessary uniform?

The Secretary of State for War (Mr. Hore-Belisha)

Grants are made by the War Office to Territorial associations for this purpose, and I am not aware of any failure to use them as intended.

Mr. De la Bère

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that a number of units are still without uniforms; is he also aware that the nation has made up its mind that these men must be properly clothed; and will he do something about it?

Mr. Hore-Belisha

If the hon. Member will supply me with the name of any unit that is not fully clothed, I will see that the deficiency is immediately remedied.
