HC Deb 19 July 1877 vol 235 cc1517-8
COLONEL NAGHTEN

asked the Secretary of State for War, Whether it is in- tended to change the uniform of any of the Rifle Militia Regiments to red; and, whether, in case of any such alteration being carried out, an allowance will be made to the officers towards the expense incurred?

MR. GATHORNE HARDY,

in reply, said, that though he could have wished that some of the Rifle Militia Regiments were dressed in red, he did not intend to exercise any compulsion upon them to change their uniforms.
