18. Rear-Admiral Sir R. HALLasked the First Lord of the Admiralty what steps have now been taken to cheapen the cost of officers' uniforms and what articles can now be purchased by officers from naval stores?
§ Sir J. CRAIGI cannot at present say anything more than that this matter is under consideration. Arrangements are, however, being made to extend the list of articles now stocked for sale to tin Fleet, so as to include articles more particularly suitable for officers, also certain uniform articles for officers, such as blue cloth caps, white caps, waterproof coats, gloves, etc.
