HC Deb 20 February 1951 vol 484 c1052
35. Brigadier Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for War what plans he has for fitting out personnel requiring outsize battle dresses during the 15 days' Z training.

Mr. Strachey

Recalled Z Reservists will receive with their warning notices size rolls for completion and return. These should be received in time to enable steps to be taken to provide outsize battle dress.

Brigadier Clarke

Does the Minister appreciate that it takes approximately three months, even during a war, to get an outsize battle dress for people like myself?

Mr. Strachey

I have a great fellow feeling for the hon. and gallant Gentleman, in this respect at any rate.

Major Guy Lloyd

Is the Minister aware that after 15 days the outsize battle dress may not fit?
