§ 8. Dame Irene Wardasked the Secretary of State for War whether he is aware of the unpopularity of the Service issue of lingerie to the Women's Services, including the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps; and whether, in order to effect a changeover to an allowance in lieu of an issue, he will arrange for the stocks to be disposed of in other ways.
§ Mr. HeadWe are going to change over to an initial allowance for underclothes in the Women's Services.
§ Dame Irene WardMay I thank my right hon. Friend that the battle has been successfully concluded, particularly having regard to the fact that the W.R.A.F. and the W.R.N.S. have already got the allowance in lieu of issue? I thank my right hon. Friend very much.
