HC Deb 22 October 1946 vol 427 cc321-2W
9. Mr. Hare

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will consider granting pay and allowances to officers of the Army Cadet Force commensurate with conditions already existing for officers of the Sea Cadet Corps, Junior Training Corps and Air Training Corps.

Mr. J. Freeman

The grant of pay and allowances to Army Cadet Force officers is now under consideration together with other proposals designed to encourage the development of the Cadet Forces.

14. Mr. Hare

asked the Secretary of State for War whether he will now issue to personnel of the Army Cadet Force one pair of boots per year and one overcoat to each member.

Mr. J. Freeman

I am glad to be able to announce that greatcoats will in future be issued to members of the Army Cadet Force. I hope that this action will help to stimulate the valuable activities of the Force throughout the year. Cadets are allowed a special issue of coupons for the purchase of boots.
