§ Colonel Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the order that civilian clothing can be worn off duty, he will reconsider A.C.I.375, of 1947, in order to allow the issue of clothing 194W coupons to Regular Army personnel on deferred engagements.
§ Mr. BellengerThis Army Council Instruction puts into effect the arrangement announced by my right hon. and learned Friend the President of the Board of Trade in reply to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Winchester (Mr. Jeger) on 13th March, and I do not consider that it needs revision. Personnel who have deferred their release or discharge under the release regulations are not serving on a Regular engagement and will on release receive the normal clothing benefits including coupons.
