Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many sets of underwear are issued per week to armed services personnel.

Underwear is not issued to armed services personnel for normal everyday wear. Certain items of underwear are issued to personnel engaged in some field training, operational or specialist tasks, but information on the number of issues is not readily available.
