HC Deb 02 November 1908 vol 195 c735
MAJOR COATES (Lewisham)

To ask the Secretary of State for War whether, as the withdrawal of the full-dress headdress from units of the Territorial Force is producing a bad effect on recruiting for that force, the County Associations can be authorised to reissue the head-dress and to pay for the same.

(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) Two suits of uniform can be provided by the associations out of public funds, one of which must be service dress, and the other may be a walking-out dress. It was not considered necessary that full-dress head-dress should be provided for wear with either description of uniform.
