HC Deb 26 February 1900 vol 79 c1087
MR. SEELY () Lincoln

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the disadvantages of bright-coloured uniforms on active service as shown in the present South African campaign, the War Office would consider the desirability of issuing to the troops in England, Regulars, Militia, and Volunteers now clothed in scarlet, an undress uniform available for active service of khaki or grey or some similar colour.

*MR. J. POWELL-WILLIAMS

Yes, Sir.
