§ Mr. REMNANTI beg to ask the Secretary of State for War a question, of which I have given private notice, with reference to the circulars issued by the War Office to the Territorial Forces. Whether the Order No. 14 deals with the dress of chaplains, and the form the scarf should take, and whether the second Order says that, as uniform, only the above-mentioned scarf is authorised. In view of the approaching winter, will he give the matter further consideration, so as to avoid unnecessary disturbance to the chaplain?
§ Mr. HALDANEAll that has been done is that the War Office does not give its authority for any other scarf. Amongst the ecclesiastical gentlemen there might be some difficulty, and the War Office does not intend to embroil itself.
§ Mr. REMNANTThe right hon. Gentleman does not understand my question. Is he aware that nothing else but the scarf is authorised to be worn?
§ Mr. HALDANEI am not myself conversant with the details of these matters, but I presume it is open even to the humblest man to wear clothes.
