§ 63. Colonel Carverasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the proposal to make a certain number of dyed battle dress uniforms available for farm workers has been well received; and, if so, whether he will consider the desirability of providing a regular supply of 1682 such utility clothing for agricultural workers.
§ Captain WaterhouseYes, Sir. This proposal has been welcomed. I have noted my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion for further supplies of such clothing.
§ Mr. HiggsWhy should the distribution of these battle dresses be confined to agricultural workers; cannot industrial workers be included?
§ Captain WaterhouseThere is no question of so confining them. This was a particular lot of battle dresses which were issued specifically to agricultural workers, but I hope that a future issue will be made which will be available for everybody.
