§ 21. Sir John Mellorasked the Secretary of State for War whether women, who, by authority of a Territorial Army Association perform clerical duties with a Home Guard Battalion, will be permitted to wear uniform?
§ Captain MargessonNo, Sir. The wearing of uniform would not be compatible with their status as civilian employees 61 Territorial Army Associations.
§ Sir J. MellorIf they do Home Guard work, why cannot they wear Home Guard uniforms? If they cannot be taken on to the establishment, cannot they be attached?
§ Captain MargessonThat is a different point. I do not think it would be right that Home Guard uniform should be worn by persons not enrolled in the Home Guard.
§ Sir J. MellorBut cannot they wear uniform of some kind to be authorised?
