§ In reply to Lord WAVENEY,
§ VISCOUNT BURYsaid, that the tunic would not be issued to the Militia Artillery while disembodied. The frock was issued instead, according to the recommendations of the Militia Committee of 1876. It was then proposed, and had since been carried out, that the Militia should, while not embodied, be clothed in the undress of their several territorial regiments. The frocks were precisely the same as those supplied to the Royal Artillery and worn by them on every ordinary occasion, such as guard mounting, field days, &c., the tunics of the 1267 Royal Artillery being worn only on full dress. In case of foreign service, both the Royal Artillery and troops of the Line would leave their tunics behind; so that, in that event, the Artillery and Line Militia would be dressed exactly the same as the corresponding troops of the Regular Army. In case of embodiment, the Militia would receive both helmets and tunics.
