HC Deb 19 October 1950 vol 478 c2217
31. Mr. Ian Harvey

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what additional laundry allowance is made to members of the Police Force who are issued with open-neck tunics.

Mr. Ede

None, Sir.

Mr. Harvey

Does not the hon. Gentleman think it unfair to ask men to pay for additional services which have been rendered necessary by Government action?

Mr. Ede

No, Sir. I should have thought that their shirts needed washing before.
