§ 34. Sir A. Knoxasked the Secretary of State for War whether he can now state, for what reason members of the Red Cross and St. John Ambulance Brigade, who give their time voluntarily to work of national importance, are compelled to bear the cost of their uniforms, amounting in the case of a Red Cross commandant to £15, while members of the Women's Auxiliary Territorial Service obtain their outfits free?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaA revised scale of payments in respect of Voluntary Aid Detachments, including allowances for uniforms, has been approved. For the details, I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the answer given on nth May last to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Sevenoaks (Colonel Ponsonby).
§ Sir A. KnoxWill uniform be provided for the Red Cross and the St. John Ambulance Brigade?
§ Mr. Hore-BelishaIt is a complicated scheme. Perhaps my hon. and gallant Friend will look at it.
