HC Deb 30 July 1958 vol 592 cc154-5W
Mr. Whitelaw

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what changes are proposed in the arrangements for the supply of uniforms to members of the Women's Voluntary Services belonging to the Welfare Section of the Civil Defence Corps.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Arrangements are being made for the Women's Voluntary Services to take over as from 1st October, 1958, the supply of uniforms for issue to their members who belong to the Welfare Section of the Civil Defence Corps. For this purpose it is proposed to make an advance of £80,000 to provide working capital and to enable them to take over stocks held by the Home Office. This advance will be recoverable from grants payable on the issues of uniforms. A Supplementary Estimate will be presented to Parliament in due course.
