HC Deb 12 February 1946 vol 419 c73W
Sir T. Moore

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether arrangements can be made to make available to rubber planters and others going to Malaya, who lost all their clothes and equipment as a result of internment by the Japanese, any stocks of tropical clothing no longer required for troops.

Mr. Belcher

I regret it is impracticable to make arrangements for the disposal of surplus clothing in small quantities to individuals or special classes of persons.
