Miss Wardasked the Minister of Supply whether, in order to give facilities to men discharged from hospitals in the provinces 367W the same advantage of choice of civilian suits as those in the London area, he will set up depots in each military command.
§ Sir J. GriggI have been asked to reply. A mail Order system is in force to provide men discharged outside London with their civilian clothing. Each man's individual measurements and his choice of style and colour are forwarded on a form to the depot in London. These arrangements are working satisfactorily, and in view of the difficulties of finding accommodation and staff and in view of the small numbers involved the provision of clothing depots outside London would not at the present time be justified.
