Paul Bradford

Question:

69 Mr. Bradford asked the Minister for Defence, with reference to Parliamentary Question No. 110 of 20 April 1994, the reason overcoats were not issued to all recruits who were not issued with working dress tunics and who still have neither coat or tunic.

Minister for Defence (Mr. Andrews)

Overcoats are not normally issued to recruits until they have completed one year's satisfactory service. I understand that an adequate supply of working tunics is now available for all recruits.
