§ 36. Mr. BOWERMANasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether the orders for uniforms are being widely distributed in order to extend the area of employment as much as possible; and whether he is aware that London firms accustomed to make uniforms are complaining at receiving no orders?
Mr. BAKERYes, Sir, that is so. The orders to be placed are by no means exhausted, but the orders already placed in London do not compare unfavourably with those placed in other parts of the country.
Mr. F. HALLIs there any truth in the rumours that have been put about that there is likely to be a change in the colour of the uniform?
