§ Mr. Callaghanasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air why the system of permitting airmen to purchase their greatcoats on demobilisation has been discontinued.
§ Mr. StracheyAt no time have airmen on demobilisation been allowed to purchase a greatcoat. The issue of civilian clothing includes a raincoat, and, if a suitable raincoat is not available at the 355W time, an airman is allowed to borrow a greatcoat. His account is debited 38s. which is cancelled on return of the greatcoat.
