HC Deb 09 May 1881 vol 261 c24
SIR HERBERT MAXWELL

asked the Secretary of State for War, If any allowance will be made to Militia officers whose regiments are to be changed into the Highland or trews dress, in the same way as indicated by him, for officers of those corps changed from or to Rifles?

MR. CHILDERS

Sir, in reply to the hon. Baronet, I have to say that in cases where alterations are made in the uniforms of Militia regiments to and from Highland dress, I propose to grant some allowance, as in the case of Rifle dress. I may add that I propose to assist the officers of the Army in the same way.
