43. Lady Grantasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will issue civilian clothing coupons to non-regular soldiers due to be released in an age and service group and who have deferred their release to general demobilisation, owing to the hardship caused to these men, who frequently have no civilian clothes.
§ Mr. BelcherNo, Sir. It will be realised that these non-regular soldiers who deferred their releases were aware that they were also deferring their right to clothing benefits on release.
