HC Deb 18 October 1939 vol 352 c890W
Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for War whether men are charged for regimental cap badges and when overcoats will be supplied to men of the Territorial Army?

Sir V. Warrender

Every man is entitled to the free issue of a cap badge.

Arrangements have been made for all personnel to be in possession of a greatcoat either by purchase of a non-service pattern if a service pattern greatcoat is not available, or by letting the man bring his own civilian greatcoat for which he gets a money allowance until such time as he is provided with one.

My right hon. Friend the Minister of Supply hopes to be able to complete the equipment of personnel with service greatcoats during November.
