§ MR. HERBERT LEWIS () Flint BoroughsI beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether it is the fact that officers recently gazetted and ordered to the front are required under the regulations of the War Office to spend a considerable sum in the purchase of uniforms which cannot be used while the officers are on active service; and whether the regulations will be relaxed in favour of such officers.
§ MR. WYNDHAMOfficers embarking for South Africa are only required to have undress uniform besides their khaki outfit.
§ MR. HERBERT LEWISHas not complaint been frequently made by officers in this respect?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI have received no such complaint; every officer will appreciate having an undress uniform on board ship.
