HC Deb 03 April 1946 vol 421 c193W
Sir J. Lucas

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Air if, in view of the fact that officers and men demobilised who enlisted for the duration of the war get a free issue of civilian clothing on demobilisation, whereas regular officers have to pay for their clothes, he will put them on the same footing as the wartime airman.

Mr. Strachey:

The rule, which applies to the three Services, is that regular officers, whose wartime service is a continuation of their normal career, are not entitled to a free civilian outfit.
