§ Sir M. DOCKRELLasked the Secretary of State for War, in view of War Office Order 90/Gen. No./101, that deputy-lieutenants and vice-lieutenants shall, in addition to the khaki uniform worn during the War, supply themselves with full-dress scarlet uniform, if he can give any indication of the occasions upon which it will be appropriate to wear the one and of those upon which it will be appropriate to wear the other?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLThe recent Committee on the dress of His Majesty's lieutenants, vice-lieutenants, and deputy-lieutenants recommended that full-dress in a modified and less expensive form should be retained for State functions and ceremonial occasions. The provision of full-dress uniform is optional, but those who are present on occasions when His Majesty is wearing naval or military full-dress uniform are expected to appear in full-dress uniform also. Service-dress uniform is retained for wear at inspections and similar duties in connection with the Territorial Force. Those in possession of full-dress and service-dress uniforms of patterns that now become obsolete may continue to wear such uniform until unserviceable, but all future provision will be of the new pattern.
