§ MR. A. WYLIE (Dumbartonshire)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War, why the advantage of being clothed in the same uniform as their line battalions, which is granted to the Militia Battalions of the Gordon and the Cameron Highlanders, is denied to the Militia Battalions of the Black Watch, the Seaforth, and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders?
§ * THE UNDER SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. BRODRICK,) Surrey, GuildfordThe undress uniform 748 of the battalions of Highland Militia has been assimilated to that of their corresponding line battalions; but, having regard to the heavy cost which would be involved, it is not considered necessary that they should be given the full dress of the line.
