Mr. David Adamsasked the Home Secretary whether he has considered representations sent through his senior regional officer from the city engineer of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, dated 19th October, and a resolution unanimously passed by the officers of the rescue service of the city requesting the provision of a satisfactory uniform of a standard similar to that supplied to the Auxiliary Fire Service; and whether he has decided to accede to this request?
§ Sir J. AndersonI have considered these representations, but I cannot authorise local authorities to provide for members of the rescue service any uniform other than the uniform overall which is being made available for members of air-raid precautions services.
