HC Deb 16 July 1941 vol 373 cc613-4W
Mr. Davidson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Trans- port whether the 5s. weekly rise, applied for last December by the auxiliary coastguardmen in Arbroath, and granted, will take effect from February, bringing them into line with other Civil Defence workers?

Colonel Llewellin

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Davidson

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether he is satisfied that the raincoats supplied to auxiliary coastguardmen in Arbroath are adequate for coast-weather conditions?

Colonel Llewellin

Either mackintoshes as supplied to regular coastguards or oilskins of Admiralty standard have been supplied to the auxiliary coastguards at Arbroath and other stations. I am satisfied that these garments are of good quality and are adequate.
