§ MR. CHARLES CRAIG (Antrim S.)To ask the Secretary of state for War, whether he is aware that during the King's visit to the North of Ireland a guard of honour of Royal Irish Rifles Militia had to borrow their full head-
†See (4) Debates, cxxv., 407.1280 dresses from the regular battalion of the same regiment owing to the fact that full head-dress has never yet been provided for the men of Militia rifle battalions; and, if so, will he say when such full headdress will be provided.(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) Militia Rifle battalions, Fusiliers, and Highlanders have no full dress head-dress, and, in view of the heavy expense, there is no intention of issuing it.
