§ 28 and 29. Brigadier-General NATIONasked the Financial Secretary to the War Office (1) whether the recently approved Army uniform is intended to replace the existing field-service uniform, or whether it is supplemental thereto; and what the financial aspect of the change is in respect to the annual Army Estimates;
(2) whether the recently approved headdress for the Army is in substitution for or in addition to the existing field-service head-dress; and, in the latter case, will he state on what occasions the new headdress is to be worn?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the WAR OFFICE (Mr. Duff Cooper)No alterations in Army uniform have as yet been approved by the Army Council nor recommended by the Committee which has been inquiring into this subject. The Committee has, however, reached certain provisional conclusions which are now under trial. There is, therefore, no question at present of Army Estimates being affected.
