HC Deb 16 June 1920 vol 130 c1264
70. Captain COOTE

asked the Secretary of State for War whether the supply of recruits for the Regular Army is now equal to the demand?

Sir A. WILLIAMSON

Yes, Sir; the supply of recruits is still proving adequate.

Captain COOTE

Does that not largely invalidate the case made out for the purchase of new scarlet uniforms?
