§ 60. Commander Nobleasked the President of the Board of Trade how many clothing coupons are now issued to members of His Majesty's Forces on Regular engagements.
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Board of Trade (Mr. Belcher)The outfits of members of the Forces who are not commissioned officers are provided and maintained by the Services, and no coupons are issued. Volunteers accepted 2007 for Regular engagements, however, obtain, at home stations, an annual grant of 30 civilian-type coupons to enable them to obtain clothing to wear when off duty. Commissioned officers are given varying rations of Service-type coupons to enable them to maintain their military outfits, including underclothes, shoes, etc.; in addition they receive the same allowance of civilian-type coupons as other ranks.
