§ Mr. Lunnasked the Minister of Supply whether he is aware that many serving men in the Army on the home front are wearing ill-fitting uniforms and have not yet received greatcoats, in spite of the cold weather; and, as some of the best clothing factories in the world are working short time, will he speed up production in the interests of the health and the appearance of the men?
§ Mr. BurginEvery endeavour is now being made to meet the demand for greatcoats and other uniform clothing, but the organisation and machinery for producing the greatly increased requirements of the Army have of necessity taken some time to bring to full capacity. Now that the production side is in full swing, there is every reason to anticipate that supply will overtake demands at a very early date.
