§ 109. Sir J. Mellorasked the President of the Board of Trade if he will now issue to officers of the Sea Cadet Corps sufficient coupons to cover purchase of necessary uniform.
§ Sir S. CrippsProper provision is already made for these officers. They are given 35 coupons on commissioning, to buy a raincoat, white shirts, collars and black tie, and their uniform is obtainable coupon-free against their signed statement that the articles represent their personal requirements.
§ 114. Mr. Dumpletonasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will now make some relaxation to members of the St. John Ambulance Brigade in the requirement of the surrender of coupons for their uniforms.
§ Sir S. CrippsFull-time members already receive their uniforms in return for the surrender of eight coupons for ambulance drivers and six for other staff, and replacement coupon free. Arrangements for part-time members differ slightly in detail. I should not be justified in making a further concession.
§ 126. Mr. Boothbyasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, in view of the exceptional conditions under which they have to work, he will now grant a supplementary allowance of clothing coupons to women and girls engaged in gutting herring.
§ Sir S. CrippsI have nothing to add to the reply which was given to the hon. Member on 13th May last.
