HC Deb 16 October 1941 vol 374 c1529W
Mr. Rostron Duckworth

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he anticipates that he will be able to reach a decision on the question of the surrender of coupons for the uniform or overalls of part-time Civil Defence workers?

Captain Waterhouse

Part-time wearers of uniform should surrender coupons for the uniform but in the case of part-time members of Civil Defence services it has been decided that no coupons shall be collected in respect of uniforms or overalls issued to them on the understanding that those who receive uniforms shall not be entitled to receive any coupon-free comforts.
