§ MR. JEFFREYS (Hams, Basingstoke)I bog to ask the Secretary of State for War whether the Queen's Regulations, with reference to the dress of Warrant Officers, can be amended so that these officers, when off duty, may be allowed the privilege of wearing plain clothes; whether it is a fact that First Class Master Gunners and First Class Staff Sergeant Majors in the A. S. C. and O. S. C. are now allowed that privilege; and whether Warrant Officers of the Royal Engineers and other regiments may be put on the same footing in that respect?
§ * MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANIn answer to a question on the 20th of February last, I made a very full statement of the practice as to the privilege —if it is to be regarded a privilege— of wearing plain clothes, and I cannot do better than refer the hon. Gentleman to that answer.
