§ 70. Sir G. Jeffreysasked the Secretary of State for War what type of clothing is 1705 being issued to soldiers declared unfit for further Army service; and if he is considering complaints that these men are receiving the early type of utility civilian suits and not the later.
§ Sir J. GriggStandard austerity suits are at present being issued, but, as soon as supplies are available of the suits which will be issued to men discharged on the termination of hostilities, they will be issued instead. I am not aware of the complaints to which my hon. and gallant Friend refers.
§ Sir G. JeffreysWill my right hon. Friend consider the complaint, if I send him a copy of the complaint which I have seen, of the treatment of a man discharged from hospital very gravely wounded, who was given an austerity suit, which he said he did not intend to wear, and a minimum of Army clothing?.
§ Sir J. GriggI will certainly look into the question. I say that this is a question which time will cure, and, I hope, very soon.
