HC Deb 28 March 1963 vol 674 c178W
Sir H. Harrison

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will advise the issue of waterproof tunics instead of the present serge tunics to the fire services.

Mr. Woodhouse

Practical trials of a new waterproof tunic are being made by selected fire brigades. If these prove successful the tunic will be recommended for general adoption in the fire service.
