HC Deb 23 March 1948 vol 448 c305W
Mr. Walkden

asked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that soldiers who, as in the case of which particulars have been sent to him, are transferred to Class W Reserve and subsequently discharged under the demobilisation group scheme, are complaining of difficulties when they apply for civilian clothing outfits and clothing coupons; and whether he will cause a review to be made of the regulations and administration governing discharges in this category.

Mr. Shinwell

Soldiers called up after 3rst December, 1946, do not receive civilian clothing outfits on release, but they receive a document which on presentation at a Food Office enables them there to obtain the appropriate proportion of the basic civilian clothing ration, together in some cases with a number of supplementary coupons. I do not consider that any review of this procedure is called for.
