HC Deb 17 November 1948 vol 458 cc36-7W
46. Major Legge-Bourke

asked the Minister of Defence what steps he is taking to ensure that men demobilised from the Armed Forces are provided with sufficient coupons and purchasing power to replace those civilian garments which no longer fit them after their service.

Mr. Alexander

As I have previously informed the House, men called up in 1947 and 1948 will, on release, receive a supplementary allowance of 60 clothing coupons; they are allowed to retain certain articles of Service clothing, and if necessary, to purchase cheaply a suit of battledress and a Service greatcoat.
