§ Mr. McKayasked the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that National Service men training at Malvern, Worcester, have black floors which they have to keep bright by using black boot polish at their own expense, which is costing them Is. per week; and if he will investigate this matter and have the polish necessary for the floors provided free of charge.
§ Mr. HeadI find that the men in one barrack room of the unit concerned recently used their own boot polish on the black surround of their fire-place: the practice has now been forbidden. Sufficient polishes are provided at public expense for all normal uses.
