§ Mr. F, Noel-Bakerasked the Secretary of State for Air when airmen serving on home stations may expect to receive the issue of clothing coupons promised last November; and how many coupons will each airman receive.
§ Mr. P. Noel-BakerI hope that clothing coupons will be issued to airmen on home stations next month. As, however, I said in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Stockton-on-Tees (Mr. Chetwynd) on 26th March, I am afraid that this year we can only give coupons to regular airmen. They will receive thirty coupons for the year beginning 1st October last, and most of them will also receive five coupons for each complete year of service from 1941 to 1946.
