HC Deb 20 February 1871 vol 204 c491
MR. HARVEY LEWIS

said, he would beg to ask the Secretary of State for War, Whether Her Majesty's Government have it in contemplation to take steps for obtaining uniformity of colour and pattern in Volunteer uniforms and equipments?

MR. CARDWELL

said, in reply, that he would be very glad to see a greater uniformity in the Volunteer uniforms than existed at present; but these were matters which had always been under the regulation of the Volunteers themselves, and there was no present intention to put any coercion upon them in regard to them.
