HC Deb 22 September 1931 vol 256 c1454
21. Dr. HASTINGS

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether, in view of the Prime Minister's statement as to the need for national economy, he will prohibit the use of expensive ceremonial uniforms, which cannot be of value under Service conditions?

Mr. COOPER

The Household Cavalry and Foot Guards are the only units supplied with ceremonial uniforms, and no change is contemplated.

Dr. HASTINGS

What is the annual cost to the nation of that ceremonial uniform?

Mr. COOPER

I must have notice of that question.
