HC Deb 23 February 1903 vol 118 c486
MR. ERNEST FLOWER (Bradford, W.)

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether it is proposed to give any financial assistance to Volunteer Corps desirous of adopting the Service dress in addition to their present full dress.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Brodrick.) As the adoption of the Service dress is quite optional for the Volunteer Corps, there appears to be no sufficient reason for throwing any of the cost on the public funds.
