HC Deb 06 August 1942 vol 382 cc1174-5
41. Mr. Glenvil Hall

asked the Home Secretary whether he will consider the issue of a second bluette combination suit to the personnel of first-aid posts for use when the present only suit is being washed?

Mr. H. Morrison

I have consulted my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health, who agrees with me that in the existing supply situation male members of the first-aid post service should, in common with members of other Civil Defence services, draw on the reserve of bluette overalls which local authorities have been authorised to hold for temporary issue when uniforms are being repaired or cleaned.

Mr. Hall

Have first-aid post personnel been told of this concession?

Mr. Morrison

I presume so, but if not I will see that it is done.
