HC Deb 02 June 1942 vol 380 c542W
Colonel Carver

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the various youth organisations, such as the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, may be allowed to purchase uniforms without coupons?

Mr. Dalton

No, Sir. The articles of uniform worn by Boy Scouts and Girl Guides can be worn in substitution for ordinary clothes. I could not, therefore, justify coupon-free supply.
