HC Deb 31 May 1949 vol 465 c1892
20. Sir Ralph Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for War whether any decision has yet been reached in regard to the pattern and issue of the new serge walking-out dress; and whether it is intended to confine this uniform to Regular troops.

Mr. Shinwell

As regards the first part of the Question, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Lewes (Major T. Beamish) on 22nd March last. It is hoped eventually to extend the supply of No. 1 dress to the Territorial Army.

Sir R. Glyn

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the War Office have received any representations regarding the men's preference for rolled collars rather than stick-up collars?

Mr. Shinwell

I have not heard of any, but the matter of the appropriate design of future dress is constantly under consideration.
