HC Deb 12 April 1888 vol 324 c1048
SIR GUYER HUNTER (Hackney, Central)

asked the Under Secretary of State for India, Whether honorary surgeons to the Viceroy of India have been prohibited wearing the aiguilette heretofore used by them; if so, by what authority and on what grounds?

THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE (Sir JOHN GORST) (Chatham)

Under the Dress Regulations of the Army, honorary surgeons to the Viceroy have no authority to wear such a decoration. If they have been in the habit of so doing, it has been an irregularity.
