Mrs. Manningasked the Secretary of State for War whether he will now arrange for the recall of anti-gas equipment to stores in order to lighten the load with which Service men and women have to travel and to release those men whose sole duty it is to check in and out the anti-gas equipment of postings.
§ Mr. LawsonNo, Sir, but no troops in the United Kingdom need carry this equipment, either when travelling on leave, or when posted overseas. Very little work is involved in checking it in and out.
