§ 10. Colonel Viscount Suirdaleasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the heavy work involved and the consequent damage to overalls and other clothing, which wear out very quickly on this type of work, he will arrange either for an extra issue of special coupons to workmen engaged on air-raid repairs in London, or alternatively, make a free issue of overalls from time to time.
§ Mr. DaltonThese workers receive the industrial supplement of 10 coupons, in addition to their existing ration. I have also made arrangements whereby employers may hold small pools of protective clothing, for loan to men working on particular jobs involving exceptionally dirty conditions.
