HC Deb 05 April 1965 vol 710 c28
34. Mr. Webster

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if it is proposed that the British uniform will be retained by the members of the United Nations force that Her Majesty's Government will provide.

Mr. Healey

Forces under United Nations command wear national uniforms with distinguishing head gear and insignia.

Mr. Webster

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that this is very much to be appreciated? Whenever possible, our men should continue to wear the British uniform on these occasions. If that is not available, at least rank badges, cap badges and regimental emblems should be retained.

Mr. Healey

Yes, Sir.
