HC Deb 21 March 1901 vol 91 c700
MR. KEIR HARDIE

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War whether his attention has been directed to the fact that infantry soldiers are only allowed two shirts in their kit, and whether, in view of the complaints made as to the inadequacy of this supply, he purposes making any additions thereto.

LORD STANLEY

This matter has been very carefully considered, and it has not been held necessary to make any change.

MR. KEIR HARDIE

Have any complaints been received from the men or from medical officers?

LORD STANLEY

Not that I know of.
