HC Deb 25 October 1950 vol 478 c348W
53. Mr. Fernyhough

asked the Minister of Defence if, in view of the increase in service for conscripts, he will now consider granting to all National Service men on the completion of their two years in the Forces, a complete civilian outfit free of charge.

Mr. Shinwell

No. I do not consider that this is a sufficient reason for altering the decision announced by my predecessor on 30th March last year.
