§ Mr. Walkdenasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that soldiers who, as in the case of which particulars have been sent to him, are transferred to Class W Reserve and subsequently discharged under the demobilisation group scheme, are complaining of difficulties when they apply for civilian clothing outfits and clothing coupons; and whether he will cause a review to be made of the regulations and administration governing discharges in this category.
§ Mr. ShinwellSoldiers called up after 3rst December, 1946, do not receive civilian clothing outfits on release, but they receive a document which on presentation at a Food Office enables them there to obtain the appropriate proportion of the basic civilian clothing ration, together in some cases with a number of supplementary coupons. I do not consider that any review of this procedure is called for.
