HC Deb 22 July 1942 vol 382 cc27-8
36. Mr. Molson

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will give an assurance that the Army is not buying, by local purchase or otherwise for male or female personnel, any furniture manufactured for the civilian population?

Mr. Sandys

This arrangement does not apply to purchases made from Army Welfare funds for the comfort of the troops.
