HC Deb 03 July 1951 vol 489 cc2122-3
15. Mr. Janner

asked the Secretary of State for War if he can give the results of the experiments now being carried out with a view to replacing the tunic button which needs polishing with a new button; and whether the new type of button is likely to be adopted for all walking out dress.

Mr. Wyatt

Anodized buttons are being introduced for wear with garments for which gilding metal or white metal buttons are at present used. Owing to restricted production, anodized buttons will be issued only for No. 1 dress and full dress for the present.
