HC Deb 01 April 1952 vol 498 cc1389-90
14. Brigadier Terence Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for War if he will extend the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes' parcels scheme to the forces to include 5s. parcels.

Mr. Head

Yes, Sir. Five shilling parcels will be included in the scheme both for Korea and Malaya.

Brigadier Clarke

I hope the Minister realises how much this concession will be appreciated by the wives and friends of the soldiers serving. It makes it far easier to send parcels to them.

Mr. Head

I am obliged to my hon. and gallant Friend for his observations.
