HC Deb 18 April 1944 vol 399 c14
21. Mr. Vernon Bartlett

asked the Secretary of State for War, whether women employees of N.A.A.F.I. now receive issues of stockings free of charge and of coupons.

Sir J. Grigg

In this country women employees of N.A.A.F.I. are civilians and as such they surrender coupons for their stockings and pay for them. They pay a price for them which is approximately cost price. When they go overseas they are enlisted as A.T.S. auxiliaries and receive the usual issues made to them for which, of course, they do not pay or surrender coupons.
