HC Deb 21 May 1942 vol 380 c390W
Mr. Kirby

asked the Secretary of State for War why schoolmasters, teachers and others, who have volunteered for service as officers in the Home Guard Cadets, are not issued, free of cost, with greatcoats, boots, shirts, collars, ties and badges of rank; and whether, as these articles are a necessary part of the uniform, and most of them when purchased necessitate the use of clothing coupons, he will arrange for a free issue?

Mr. Sandys

For supply reasons, the articles of clothing referred to are not issued to members of the Army Cadet Force, whether officers or other ranks.

Mr. Keeling

asked the Secretary of State for War has it yet been decided whether the King's Commission is to be granted to cadet force officers?

Mr. Sandys

King's Commissions in the Territorial Army Reserve of Officers will be granted to officers of the Army Cadet Force. Details of the conditions will be announced shortly.
