§ Lieut.-Colonel Marloweasked the Minister of Health whether he is aware of the discrimination against the Emergency Mortuary Service as compared with the Civil Defence Service on the question of the issue of uniforms; and whether, having regard to the discontent thus engendered, he will now remedy this anomaly.
§ Mr. WillinkUniform is provided for the Civil Defence (General) Services but is not issued to the Emergency Mortuary Service and various other services which come into operation after raids. The point raised by my hon. and gallant Friend has been fully considered, but, as Civil Defence personnel are subject to obligations and conditions which could not with advantage be applied to the other services mentioned, I should not feel justified in adopting his suggestion.
