HC Deb 05 May 1948 vol 450 cc130-1W
48. Wing-Commander Hulbert

asked the Minister of Defence what monetary grant and clothing coupons are allotted to National Service men on their discharge from the Services to enable them to reequip themselves adequately for civilian life.

Men called up in 1947 and 1948 for two years or less will, on release, receive a supplementary allowance of 60 clothing coupons. They will not receive a cash grant for the purchase of clothing; they will, however, be allowed to retain certain articles of Service clothing and, if necessary, to purchase a suit of battledress.
