HC Deb 25 May 1949 vol 465 cc88-9W
12. Lieut.-Colonel Clifton-Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Air when the issue of pyjamas to other ranks in the Royal Air Force as authorised on 28th March, 1947, will be carried out.

Mr. de Freitas

It was made clear when this decision was announced that it would take some time to carry it out because of the shortage of cloth. Ninety thousand suits of pyjamas have been delivered since then, and I hope the rate of delivery will increase, but I cannot say how soon it will be before all airmen can be issued with them.
