HC Deb 01 December 1943 vol 395 cc389-90W
Mr. Lipson

asked the President of the Board of Trade what arrangements are made to ensure that members of the W.A.A.F., who are granted leave on account of pregnancy, are provided with clothing coupons and ration cards?

Mr. Dalton

A member of the women's Services discharged, or released from the Services pending discharge, on grounds of pregnancy is issued by her unit with a form which enables her to obtain at once a civilian identity card. This in turn enables her to get at the same place the combined food and clothing ration book, and, on production of a medical certificate, the 60 expectant mother coupons and the ration book for the unborn child.
