HC Deb 25 January 1940 vol 356 c804W
Mr. Lyons

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he is satisfied that supplies of clothing and equipment, including greatcoats, are adequate to meet the requirements of the further groups of recruits to be called up for service under the recent Royal Proclamation?

Sir V. Warrender

It is not anticipated that there will be any difficulty in providing for further recruits, except that only one suit of uniform and one pair of boots will be available for each man to begin with.
