HC Deb 24 July 1916 vol 84 c1308
Major WALTER GUINNESS

asked the Home Secretary whether the uniform worn by Irish or Sinn Fein Volunteers is modelled on the British uniform but of a dark green colour?

Mr. SAMUEL

The uniform of the Irish Volunteers resembled that of the British Infantry, but was dark green in colour.

Mr. REDDY

Will the right hon. Gentleman say whether he could not, in consultation with the hon. Member for Bury St. Edmunds (Major Walter Guinness) devise some uniform for feather-bed officers in this House, who are here when they ought to be in the "big push"?

An HON. MEMBER

Stay-at-home Major.
