HC Deb 28 October 1970 vol 805 c143W
Mr. Cronin

asked the Minister of State for Defence if he is aware that the supply of winter clothing for the British Army of the Rhine is inadequate; and what steps he is taking to remedy this deficiency.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

Supplies to the present scales of clothing are adequate. Improvements to the scales, which take advantage of new ideas and new materials, are being considered.
