HC Deb 30 November 1943 vol 395 cc178-9
16. Mr. Turton

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware that a certain unit serving in North Africa, the identity of which he has been informed, has only one wireless set among 800 men; and whether he will take the necessary steps to increase the allocation of welfare wireless sets to troops on active service, so that every sub-unit of 100 men may have a wireless set?
