HC Deb 13 June 1951 vol 488 c180W
65. Mr. Bossom

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty if he will extend to the 500 officers of the Sea Cadet Corps who have served six years or more and whose original uniforms are now old, shabby and worn out, the same allowances for uniforms that are given to officers now entering the corps.

Mr. Callaghan

These officers are now eligible for a tax-free allowance of £3 a year for upkeep of uniform. The issue of a new outfit could not be justified.
