§ * COLONEL LEGGE (St. George's, Hanover Square)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if the issue of the new field service forage cap for the Army has been finally approved of; has a new pattern cap for walking out and similar purposes been decided upon; 683 and, if so, what saving, if any, will result from these changes.
MR. AENOLD-FORSTERThe new service dress cap for the Army has not been finally approved. Two patterns, similar in shape but different in detail, are this year being issued as an experiment. A new cap for walking out purposes has been decided upon, but the pattern has not yet been finally approved. It is impossible to say what saving will be effected until the pattern of the walking out cap has been finally decided, but there will be no extra cost.
