HC Deb 29 March 1900 vol 81 c695
MR. F. W. WILSON (Norfolk, Mid)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether khaki is to be introduced as the uniform of the Volunteers, and, if not, in view of the number of recruits now joining the Volunteers, and the necessity of providing them with uniforms, whether any change in the colour and material of such uniforms will be made during the present year.

MR. WYNDHAM

The question of a general service uniform for the Regular Army is at present under consideration. Until a pattern is approved for the Regulars it is not probable that Volunteer commanding officers will wish to make any radical change in the uniform of their corps.
